The International Conference on Information & Communication Technologies and Development is a research conference that explores the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in global development. The conference reflects the multidisciplinary and multisectoral nature of ICTD work, with representation from a broad range of areas (anthropology, communication, computer science, design, economics, electrical engineering, geography, global health, information science, political science, sociology, and many others), as well as participation from academia, industry, civil society, and government.
ICTD2016 features an exciting program with 26 Papers presented in plenary sessions, 36 Notes presented as posters, 32 interactive Open Sessions, and two incredible keynotes: Deepak Mishra is co-director of the World Bank’s 2016 World Development Report: Digital Dividends; and Tererai Trent is the Drexel University global health professor featured in “Half the Sky” who began her adult life as a rural Zimbabwean mother of three with no formal education.
