Development, Volunteerism and ICT Portals

The UNITeS Knowledge Base for ICT Volunteers is an ever-growing resource, but it would be impossible for it to be comprehensive: volunteers apply ICTs to health, education, agriculture, governments, microbusiness, environment, and various other areas of development, and not one resource can meet the needs of all of these volunteers.

There are many portals relating to development that can provide resources to help ICT Volunteers and Online Volunteers who support development efforts to carry out their service successfully. Each of these portals provides information from many different organizations (not just one organization), and covers a variety of development issues and practices. Below are portals that staff and volunteers affiliated with UNITeS find particularly helpful, and that we recommend for ICT Volunteers in finding information not available in our own Knowledge Base:

Eldis Gateway to Development Information
A gateway to information on development issues, with summaries and links to online documents; a directory of websites, databases, library catalogues and email discussion lists; country profiles; and more.

The Development Gateway
An interactive portal for information and knowledge sharing on sustainable development and poverty reduction. The Gateway offers a massive, searchable database of development projects and knowledge sharing on key development topics.

The Communications Initiative
A portal maintained in partnership of development organisations seeking to support advances in the effectiveness and scale of communication interventions for positive international development.

ICT Development Digital Library
The Commonwealth Telecommunications Organization's ICT Development Digital Library (ICT DevLibrary) provides a collection of ICT for development reports and documents for policy-makers and practitioners in developing countries. It provides direct, “one-click” access to these documents, and makes these often bulky documents accessible to users on low bandwidth connections.
