Research in Information Technology for Development involves the assessment of how innovative applications of technology lead to improvements in the lives of people. Research in this area considers ways in which these applications bring about improvements through better education, healthcare, water and land resources and government services. Often small technology interventions in small businesses can improve their ability to grow. A selection of publications in this program are listed below:

Information Technology for Development: Health Care
