Leveraging Technology for Development
The AED Information Technology Applications Center (ITAC) is a globally recognized leader in applying information and communication technology (ICT) to accelerate development.
From the early days of radio and television to the present era of rapidly evolving wireless connectivity technologies and a growing menu of low-cost end-user devices, AED has been at the forefront of efforts to help countries reap the benefits of ICT. Working closely with public and private sector partners, the ITAC team develops self-sustaining solutions that help governments, private companies, civic institutions, and ultimately individuals leverage the most appropriate mix of technologies to meet their goals.
We combine our expertise with the resources of multiple AED centers of excellence and other partners to enable cross-sector and cross-technology solutions that optimize value for people across the world. Whether developing on-line training modules to improve teacher training, creating economic opportunities through expanded Internet connectivity, or enhancing efficiency and transparency of governance through greater information access, ITAC's approach is technology-neutral and results-oriented.
