Information and Communication for Development (ICD)
The term Information and Communication for Development (ICD) spans the full range of issues around information and communication for international development: from radio to the internet; content to delivery; and policy to practical application on the ground.
Many international aid agencies are now recognising the importance of ICD. For example the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) has a dedicated team working on these issues.
This field is a rising field. However, evaluations of the impact of ICTs for development are rare.
