Approach

Working on the ground

Within each of our focal countries, a Country Programme is established that brings local organisations together to formulate and execute ICT-supported development programmes in five development sectors: education, governance, health, (agricultural) livelihoods and the environment. The starting point for all our programmes have been National and Sector roundtables, initiated by request of prominent stakeholders in the country.

Each country programme has several components that contribute to the enhancement and strengthening of the institutional capacity of local partners including:

• Capacity development
• National ICT4D networks
• Knowledge sharing
  
• Monitoring and evaluation
  

Building on our expertise

Thematically, we gather impact results and learning experiences from the Country Programmes. Through national and regional networks on ICT4D local organisations that work on ICT4D are brought together. The networks encourage and enable the organisations to share knowledge and skills, expertise and experiences in the field of ICT. The knowledge acquired in this way is then shared across countries, and reinvested in existing or new ICT-enabled development activities. At the international level, we disseminate best practice information.
