ICT for Development
The rapid spread of information and communications technologies (ICT) is changing the way economic and social development occurs in most countries. New ICT-related tools can make institutions and markets more productive, enhance skills and learning, improve governance at all levels, and make it easier for the poor to access services and make their voices heard.
Innovative and Evolving
The uses of ICT to further development goals are evolving. Techniques to boost crop yield, improve well-drilling, or teach mothers how to better care for infants can be sent instantly around the world. Health specialists can more effectively coordinate to halt the spread of diseases. Citizens can learn about how to open a company online, instead of waiting in long lines at government offices, saving time and money for everyone involved.Unlocking Potential
Helping unlock ICT’s development potential and spreading it around the globe is the motivating force behind Development Gateway. Our programs target both the global and local levels, and the reach of our work is extended through hundreds of partnerships for development.
