The International Center for Information Technology and Development (ICITD) is funded through the National Science Foundation, Division of Information & Intelligent Systems for a five-year period to investigate information technology transfer to developing nations. Specifically the Center will perform a multi-national research and education program on the adoption of robust IT applications such as tele-medicine, tele-education, tele-democracy and E-government. The Center will also provide support and consulting services to governments of developing nations in sub-Saharan Africa, South America, and South East Asia, as well as US agencies interested in IT investments in those regions of the world.
The overarching goal of ICITD is to conduct highly empirical and hypotheses-driven research in IT Transfer to Developing Nations and to translate such research into practical applications for managers and policy makers to make well informed decisions in the context of their respective countries.
The ICITD is hosted at the Southern University.
