25/12: A quick guide to implementing ICT for development projects
Any initiative that uses ICT as a tool for attaining development goals, for example, improving health care or education – falls under the umbrella term of ‘ICT for development (ICT4D)’.
In November 25 Tech Laureates were honoured at the Tech Museum Awards in Silicon Valley, for using technology to benefit humanity in innovative ways. But not all ICT4D projects are so successful. In fact, since the late 1980s, the sector has been characterised more by project failure than success. Over time a body of knowledge and culture of information dissemination has developed, enabling those in the sector to improve the likelihood of project success by avoiding mistakes, and building on the pioneering work of others. Many case studies have been conducted on ICT4D projects to identify best practices and lessons learned. Drawing on the case study series by Bridges.org, a few of the common best ICT4D practices are described here.
