The ICT4D Flagship is a CSET multidisciplinary group whose fundamental purpose is enlarging people’s choices using ICT. The choices could be at the individual, community, organisational, national and international level. ICT4D spans beyond the computing discipline to holistically include other disciplines such as Agriculture, Government, Health, Education and Design. The flagship enjoys a growing partnership base with 4 of the active members being NRF rated. Some of the questions we investigate include: What is the role of ICT in development? For whom is development? Where can IoT (internet of Things) devices promote development? To what extent is health improved using ICT? Does the introduction of ICT into government enable a better path to development? What design of ICT can aid development? 2016 Goals
