The project is co-financed by IICD and Gamos, and implemented by the Health Foundation of Ghana. <br /><br /> The International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) assists developing countries to realise locally owned sustainable development by harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs). IICD works with its partner organisations in selected countries, helping local stakeholders to assess the potential uses of ICTs in development. <br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2414">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2414#comment Health Activity Telecommunications and IT Activity Active Consumer Ghana Non-profit Activity Philanthropy Funded Sub-Saharan Africa Thu, 23 Mar 2006 10:23:12 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2414 at http://www.nextbillion.net
