IICD is a non-profit foundation, specialising in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a tool for supporting existing and new development activities. IICD was established by the Netherlands Minister for Development Cooperation in 1996. Our sources of core funding include the Dutch Directorate-General for Development Cooperation (DGIS), the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation (SDC). We also work closely together with the Dutch not-for-profit organisations Cordaid, Hivos and PSO and several private partners.

International Advisory Board and Board of Trustees

IICD is a young organisation with staff coming to us from public, private and non-profit sectors. Our understanding grows as we are continually challenged to learn and to date we have always met these challenges. Our International Advisory Board (IAB) helps us in this effort.

The IAB plays a strong role in IICD’s strategic lessons and best practices, giving regular advice on proposed directions and reviewing existing approaches. IAB members also play an ambassadorial role for IICD in their countries and communities. A number of recognised Dutch development stakeholders serve on our IAB alongside a host of African policy-makers and ICT for Development practitioners.

The IAB has a formal advisory role to both the Managing Director and the Board of Trustees. This Board is constitutionally independent from any financiers and has the role of formally approving strategic and organisational decisions at IICD. Members stem from the private, public and non-profit sectors in the Netherlands.
