IICD

IICD supports sustainable development through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) as a strategic tool for sustainable development and poverty alleviation. IICD assists developing countries to realise locally owned sustainable development by harnessing the potential of ICT.

Since Close the Gap and IICD share areas of common interest, both organisations decided to join forces. Close the Gap provides refurbished computer equipment to existing IICD projects in developing countries and arranges the transport of the hardware to the country of destination. IICD clearly ventilates the needs of its partners towards Close the Gap and will ensure that projects meet the edge conditions stipulated by Close the Gap, this to assure maintenance and sustainability.

Once the computers reach the country of destination, IICD and its local partners take care of the distribution, installation and maintenance of the equipment.

Together we supported projects in Tanzania (200 desktops), Uganda (500 desktops) and Zambia (100 touch screen laptops)
