Hi,

There are a few free/libre ebooks written specifically for a developing 
world tech market.

I've co-authored "Wireless Networking in the Developing World" 
(http://wndw.net/)
and know the team behind "How to accelerate the Internet" 
(http://bwmo.net/), about bandwidth management and optimisation.

Also at http://flossmanuals.net/ there are some nice books.
Again, I co-authored "Bypassing Interent Censorship", which is hugely 
relevant in large parts of northern africa where the government 
implements national filters. Also at FLOSSManuals there are nice books 
on command line usage, CiviCRM, firefox etc.

Apart from that, perhaps adding frontlineSMS to the software stack is an 
good addition. I've had a lot of interest in that platform in my travels 
and trainings in Africa.

cheers
