ICT4D, Innovation, and Millennium Development Goals


The UN Week Digital Media Lounge will be highlighting new approaches that are tackling Millennium Development Goal challenges. Innovative information and communication technologies are one way to accelerate progress toward meeting the MDGs. But what are the big new ideas? Who is pushing the innovation envelope? And how are humanitarian agencies using these ICT tools around the world to effect change?

  • Wayan Vota, Senior Director, Inveneo (moderator)
  • Robert Kirkpatrick, Director, UN Global Pulse
  • Erica Kochi, Innovation Unit, UNICEF
  • Linda Raftree, New Technology, PLAN West Africa Regional Office
