What is ICT?
We define ICT for development as the appropriate and sustainable use of information, communication and supporting technologies to support development objectives of people, organisations and communities
Information
• To be based on local needs and accessible in ways that people understand
• The target group needs to be generators of information
• Technologies include a wide range of off-line and on-line applications
Communication
• Needs to build on and not replace traditional means of communication such as meetings, radio, television and fixed telephony
• We seek with partners appropriate and affordable combinations of traditional and new technologies for communication such as satellite, wireless and mobile telephony
