News and Publications

ICT4D is a dynamic and bustling field of research and development. In all institutions and across continents, multiple stakeholders are uniting their efforts to further develop ICT capabilities and skills within all societies and in all segments of society. The United Nations have in recent years served as spearhead to this movement by organizing international forums, promoting research, and publishing results originating from all corners of the world that influence and promote further developments and application of ICT in many fields of development. Below are links to the most central sites presenting recent developments in the field of ICT4D: the official World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) web portal and the United Nations Information and Communication Technology Task Force (UNICTTF) web portal. Publications from these organizations figure as some of the most useful ICT4D resources available at present.
