20 years after its foundation in 1996, IICD, the International Institute for Communication and Development, definitively closed. Over the years, IICD proved that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can accelerate socio-economic development and that a methodology based on principles such as multi-stakeholder engagement, demand-driven approach and local ownership, is key to integrate and sustain ICT-enabled activities. IICD investments in enabling individuals, organisations and networks to adequately serve the ICT needs of local stakeholders resulted in conducive environments with experienced partners well suited to offer cost-effective and locally relevant ICT-enabled solutions. Based on the experience of the writer this paper explores the impact of the organization, after five years in a fast changing environement. It also expresses her opinions and shares ideas related to the importance of knowledge sharing for preparedness in a post-pandemic world. ; 20 ans après sa fondation en 1996, l'IICD, l'Institut international pour la communication et le développement, a définitivement fermé ses portes. Au fil des ans, l'IICD a prouvé que les technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) peuvent accélérer le développement socio-économique et qu'une méthodologie basée sur des principes tels que l'engagement multipartite, l'approche axée sur la demande et l'appropriation locale, est essentielle pour intégrer et soutenir des activités assistées par les TIC.

Il exprime également ses opinions et partage ses idées liées à l'importance ...
