ICTD Project Newsletter December-2007, ICTs - A Catalyst for Inclusion
The goal of the development process must be to include every last member of our society, particularly those who are at the margins.
The i4d (Information For Development) print magazine is one its kind,
and is intended to provide a much-needed platform for exchange of
information, ideas, opinions and experiences, both inside and outside
the Information and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D)
sector. While several electronic publications do currently exist,
i4d is perhaps the first that addresses the need by utilizing the
strength and potential of the print media.
i4d encompasses the role and relevance of ICT in various development
sectors such as Rural Development, Gender, Governance, Micro-finance,
Education, Health, Wireless Communication, ICT For Poor, Local Content,
Culture and Heritage, and more.
