ict for development

MTDS is specialized in Information Communication Technology (ICT) applications for economic and social development initiatives or ICT for Development (ICT4D). MTDS works to put information technology in the hands of those that need it most.

The Internet and related communication technologies offer unprecedented opportunities to empower people by enabling the free flow of ideas and access to information and knowledge. ICTs are at the foundation of ongoing and rapid social and economic transformations described as “world flattening.” MTDS’ ICT4D units’ mission is to make these economic and social transformations possible in the countries, communities and sectors where we, our clients and our local development partners work.

Since 1993 and the first Internet connections, MTDS has created solutions to improve access to information and knowledge by people in the developing world. Over the last 15 years, it has contributed to innovative development activities in more than 20 countries across Africa and the Arab World.
