I have been nominated to serve on the International Development Informatics Association (IDIA) Board for a 3-year period as from 2011.
The IDIA is an association serving as a forum for international cooperation between individuals and organisations focusing on research in the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for developing economies and societies, also known as ICT4D (ICT for development), where various constraints impact on the use of ICT compared to highly developed regions.
IDIA, established in 2006, provides opportunities for scholars and technical specialists alike to exchange knowledge on the modes and principles of applying ICT to such contexts and regions.
Development Informatics focuses on fundamental questions regarding development, and specifically using ICT for development - finding relatively cheap solutions for total global connectivity and access to information for all.
