In recent years there has been - and continues to be - a massive expansion in the number of information-and-communications-technology-for-development (ICT4D) projects (telecentres, ICT-enabled microenterprise, public service kiosks, e-government initiatives, e-health projects, etc) in developing and transitional economies.
Successful oversight of these projects requires ICT4D champions who possess a combination of technical competencies (e.g. information systems skills) and contextual competencies (e.g. development skills). Such a combination is, as yet, rarely found. This has resulted in a high project failure rate, and a recognition of training need.
This programme, therefore, aims to create the ICT4D champions who combine the necessary skills to see ICT4D projects through to sustainable delivery of development goals.
You will gain:
A range of optional modules provides an opportunity to satisfy specialist ICT4D champion knowledge and skill requirements.
