Information and communication technologies for development
Information and Communication Technologies for Development (ICT4D) refers to the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in the fields of socioeconomic development, international development, and human rights. The theory behind this is, more and better information and communication furthers the development of a society.
Aside from its reliance on technology, ICT4D also requires an understanding of community development, poverty, agriculture, healthcare, and basic education. This makes ICT4D appropriate technology, and if it is shared openly, open source appropriate technology.Richard Heeks suggests that the I in ICT4D is related with "library and information sciences", the C is associated with "communication studies", the T is linked with "information systems", and the D for "development studies". It is aimed at bridging the digital divide and assisting economic development by fostering equitable access to modern communications technologies, and it is a powerful tool for economic and social development. Other terms can also be used for "ICT4D" or "ICT4Dev" ("ICT for development") such as ICTD ("ICT and development", which is used in a broader sense) and development informatics.
International Centre for Tax and Development
The International Centre for Tax and Development (ICTD) is a research centre based at the Institute of Development Studies, and funded by the UK's Department for International Development (DFID) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation. Founded in 2010 with close to £6 million in funding, its mission is to generate knowledge that will help developing countries to mobilise domestic resources efficiently, effectively, and equitably, and develop tax systems that promote good governance and pro-poor economic growth.
Towards these ends, the ICTD fosters a network of social science researchers from developing countries to engage with taxation issues by funding research, building research capacity through courses and workshops, and collaborating with a range of partners including the African Tax Administration Forum, the Institute for Security Studies, and the Chr. Michelsen Institute. It also aims to disseminate its research evidence to policymakers through its publications and annual centre meetings in Africa.By sharing its research findings, the ICTD aims to widen the public debate on taxation and governance in developing countries.

Kleine Wolke Über Einem Französischen Mädchen
by: EchtSie ist nicht was sie glaubt zu sein
Der Engel unterm Heiligenschein
Sie weiß zu jedem Thema was zu sagen
Und stellt nur aus Höflichkeit dumme Fragen
Denn sie ist so ja oh ja sie ist sie ist
Ja denn sie ist schön geboren
Doch nur bis sie den Mund aufmacht
Denn sie ist häßlich wenn sie lacht
Ja ja sie kennt die ganze Welt
Doch fand nie das was ihr gefällt
Vielleicht wird sie`s schon morgen finden
Bis dahin wird sie weiter grinsen
Denn sie ist so ja oh ja sie ist sie ist
Ja denn sie ist schön geboren
Doch nur bis sie den Mund aufmacht
Sie ist so häßlich wenn sie lacht
Denn sie ist so ja oh ja sie ist sie ist
Ja denn sie ist schön geboren
Doch nur bis sie den Mund aufmacht
Sie ist so häßlich wenn sie lacht
