The NetHope Innovation for Development (I4D) Program was launched in January 2008 as a way to design Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions that could be replicated across NetHope membership organizations. The value proposition is simple… By sharing existing Best Practices across the membership, aggregating common needs, and conducting proof of concepts, NetHope can scale solutions that can have a broad impact on the developing world. A key component of the Innovation for Development initiative is building strong partnerships between NetHope members and technology providers of hardware, software and services to accelerate the design and implementation of the replicable ICT solutions. NetHope’s I4D mandate is to partner with technology providers that are focusing on solutions for the developing world and collaborate with them on the design, prototype development and deployment.
NetHope believes that Innovation for Development (I4D) is critical to extending the impact, reach and scale of humanitarian programs in the international development community.
The I4D Portfolio is comprised of innovative technology-enabled ideas organized into five Impact Areas. Several I4D platform solutions also have the potential to cross these areas.
