into practical action to amplify the good work of USAID and other donors in
advancing the reach of ICTs in international development.
Former USAID Administrator, Dr. Rajiv Shah, emphasized the importance of
this work in the USAID Impact blog on Oct 20, 2014

“Representing our commitment not only to innovation, but sustainable
results, we’re thrilled to be launching these principles in partnership
with over a dozen donors and multilaterals, including the Bill & Melinda
Gates Foundation, UNICEF, the Swedish International Development Cooperation
Agency, the United Nations Development Program and the World Food Program.”
Please RSVP now

to join us on June 25. We’ll be focusing on the opportunities and
challenges leveraging and contributing to a broader commons of resource,
action, and knowledge to extend the impact of development interventions
with a focus on two themes:
-
How can we engage diverse expertise across disciplines and
industries at all stages of the development process, and work across sector
silos to create coordinated and more holistic approaches? -
How should we document work, results, processes and best practices
and share them widely through tools like Creative Commons licenses, so
others can learn from our successes, and not repeat our mistakes
Leading us in these discussions will be a cohort of experts at the center
of cross-sector collaboration and open discussions, including:
- Kate Warren
