Welcome to IOU Digital Library

A policy publication from the OECD exploring how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to development goals and the need for policy coherence across sectors and countries to maximize their developmental impact. It synthesises discussions from a 2009 OECD/infoDev workshop, reviewing access to ICTs as a foundation for economic and social development, government roles in broadband availability, mobile payments, ICT security, environmental performance, and the prioritisation of ICTs in education. The book highlights the gaps in coherent policy frameworks and urges the integration of ICT strategies into broader development and innovation policies to support competitiveness, poverty reduction, and the Millennium Development Goals.
