ICT & Space

ICTs are promoted in development cooperation efforts because more than 3 billion people can't afford communication services or live in rural and remote areas, where access to information and communication technologies is scarce or absent. ICTs fall into four main categories: computing and information technology, broadcasting, telecommunications and internet.

Sub-Topics:

Big Data - Communication policy - GIS - Hardware and software - Internet access - IT training - Mobile technology - Radio/television/print media - Satellite imagery - Technology transfer

EU Focus on Africa - "Participatory GIS combined with Satellite imagery is reaping dividends in community efforts to mitigate natural disasters"
