Abstract:
IICD will work with reliable partner organizations in up to 9 developing countries, helping local stakeholders to understand and assess the potential uses of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in development. It will also strengthen the capacities of the local partners to formulate and implement feasible and locally owned development policies and projects that make use of ICTs. Increased efforts will be given to building and strengthening ‘ICT for development’ networks where local partners take full ownership of a range of activities executed through country programmes. Further, knowledge sharing networks will focus on the applications of ICTs in development sectors, such as education, agriculture, or health, helping to deepen information exchange and learning across projects and countries. To ensure that the results address local development needs and priorities and are sustainable, six guiding principles are applied to all activities – ownership, demand responsiveness, multi-stakeholder involvement, capacity development, partnerships, and learning by doing. Two strategic approaches are used: country programmes and thematic networks.
