About infoDev
infoDev is global development financing
program among international development agencies, coordinated and served by an
expert Secretariat housed at the World Bank Group, one of its key donors and
founders. It acts as a neutral convener of dialogue, and as a coordinator of
joint action among bilateral and multilateral donors-supporting global sharing
of information on ICT for development (ICT4D), and helping to reduce
duplication of efforts and investments. infoDev also forms partnerships with
public and private-sector organizations who are innovators in the field of
ICT4D. The infoDev Secretariat is housed in the Global ICT Department (GICT) of
the World Bank Group.
