ICTDev is a news and trend tracking system for the intersection of technology and development.

As is the case for most sectors, there is a wealth of information available, with very little in the way of aggregation or knowledge being generated outside of siloed projects.

Building on that wealth of data, the system generates basic trend reports and provides customizable knowledge feeds based on keywords and auto-tagging.

The core innovation is leveraging a simple aggregation tool to gather the shared knowledge from across the sector into one location. Building on open source products lowers the development costs and accelerates the potential knowledge gains.

While ICTDev is focused on the role of technology in international development, the model is flexible and could easily be applied to any sector.
