Development Informatics (DI)

ICT is enabling countries around the world to generate jobs from knowledge-based products and services. Development Informatics provides vital strategies and policy reforms for headway in these markets. DI projects align interests of stakeholders in support of market-driven strategies, and build sustained capabilities in the public and private sector. Our principals have experience in more than 60 countries. We succeed by sharing knowledge, building relationships, and delivering powerful e-learning systems that enable champions and decisionmakers to stay competitive in an era of fast-changing markets and technologies. DI practice areas include policy/institutional assessments and strategies, pilot project for rurual and urban telecenters, skills training and certification, and ICT diaspora linkages for sustained and replicable initiatives.(dot-GOV)
