ICT Development Fund Projects

The ICT Development Fund (ICT-DF) contributes to sustainable development through the co-financing of ICT national, regional and global development projects.
The ICT-DF co-finances projects with partners from ITU Members, the public and private sector, multilateral organizations, financial institutions and development agencies.
ICT-DF is mainly targeted at supporting the least developed countries (LDCs), small island developing states (SIDS), landlocked developing countries, countries with economies in transition and/or countries in special need (countries emerging out of the war situations and/or natural disasters).
