International Development Agencies and Information and Communication for Development

In exploring issues of information and communication in international development from the perspective of international development agencies, the World Bank’s site for the infoDev initiative is a good place to start. infoDev was created as a partnership of international development agencies, coordinated and served by an expert Secretariat housed at the World Bank, one of its key donors and founders. It acts as a neutral convener of dialogue, and as a coordinator of joint action among bilateral and multilateral donors —supporting global sharing of information on ICT for development (ICT4D), and helping to reduce duplication of efforts and investments. http://www.infodev.org/en/index.html

An international development agency not as useful is the Asian Development Bank. The ADB has not focused significantly on the relationship between information and communication and development, and has not recognized it as a priority area.
