Background
“CRS founded the ICT4D Conference in 2010 to bring together a community of practitioners and learn from each other about how to best apply rapidly evolving digital technologies to help accelerate the end of poverty, hunger and preventable disease. Each year I am amazed by the incredible examples of how the responsible and effective use of tech and data enable us to increase our impact at scale. I am particularly excited about the upcoming Conference as it will bring together the global ICT4D community in person after a long time.”
Nora Lindström, senior ICT4D director, Catholic Relief Services
Recent ICT4D Conferences – held in 2016 in Nairobi, Kenya, 2017 in Hyderabad, India, 2018 in Lusaka, Zambia, and 2019 in Kampala, Uganda – at each event 750+ senior executives, program managers and ICT experts explored how digital solutions are enabling the achievement of international development goals.
The 2024 ICT4D Conference aims to follow up on these conversations and discuss how development programs can achieve excellence in their reach and effectiveness through the application of digital innovations.
