Made for ICT4D and digital development professionals and explorers
The intended audience of this companion guidebook is ICT4D and digital development practitioners, in particular existing leadership and those seeking to establish or evolve ICT4D practices within their organisations, with local partners, and to broader communities.
Digital transformation can be the most difficult and least defined stage, especially as it involves a fundamental change in the organisation culture, delivery model, and relationship to technology. Digital transformation requires that organisations rethink the way they operate, and deliver value for programme participants, partners, and donors. This guide aims to support organisations to do that.
Goal: Understanding technology goals and development approach updates
The Guidebook was developed in collaboration with these contributing organizations: Oxfam, Helvetas USA, Mercy Corps, Christian Aid, SOS Children's Villages, International Rescue Committee, Exchange Design, Catholic Relief Services. It serves as a practical accompaniment to key themes identified by the NetHope community, with the intent of providing a reliable resource rooted in the experience of the community members and a source of inspiration for all readers to continue their journey.
The goal of this guidebook is to help organizational leaders understand technology tools and development approach updates, learn from the community about how they are approaching comparable challenges, and build a shared framework and vocabulary for technology-enabled updates as needed.
"Empowering individuals through digital innovation is not just about advancing technology; it's about transforming lives of children, young people and families. Within SOS Children’s Villages, the integration of technology amplifies our impact, revolutionising how we deliver our programmes, promoting change and innovation, fostering resilience and opportunities for the children, young people and families we work with," says Benoit Piot, International Director Programme Development.
