Our goal is to identify and promote sustainable solutions for bridging the global digital divide—catalyzing large-scale use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) to create social and economic "dividends" in poor communities throughout the developing world.

We provide information services, including Clearinghouse project data and analysis, full-length business case studies, news alerts, and strategy consulting to help:

Companies provide critical information, tools, and services to poor communities throughout the developing world--profitably

Development agencies implement bottom-up strategies for improving the effectiveness of their services, and for providing services more sustainably

Grassroots NGOs and entrepreneurs identify and refine promising business models as well as locate sources of funding and other support they need to go to scale

All of our published information and analysis is publicly available on this Web site. Use the links to the left to get started, or contact us for more information.

“[India, China] and other developing nations have the chance to rethink the meaning of being rural. If just a few political leaders were to reexamine their telecommunications agendas for the rural populace, poverty could be redefined in the digital age.”
