ICT4D for Empowerment
E.g.: our assumption is that… building openness into policies and technologies will result in greater
opportunities for developing countries to transform into equitable and sustainable knowledge societies … (Smith
and Elder 2010)
… for ‘open data’ to have a meaningful and supportive
impact on the poor and marginalized, direct intervention is required to ensure that elements currently absent in the
local technology and social ecosystem are in fact, made available. (Gurstein 2011)

“direct intervention is required to ensure that elements currently absent
in the local technology and social ecosystem are in fact, made available.”

ICT4D: a Master course
To raise awareness of •the importance of ICTs for the developing world and the unexpected way developing countries are leapfrogging into the information age •The opportunities and challenges that exist for an information scientist in the area of 'development4development‘ •The influence of context in a typical ICT4D project •The complexity of deploying an ICT project within a development context, and how to tackle this. To equip the students with initial project management, technological and programming skills specific to an ICT in developing countries.
