Mission

The Centre for Development Informatics (CDI) is a multidisciplinary centre researching the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in socio-economic development.

Disaster Reduction Goal

ICTs and Sustainability: The contribution of ICTs to sustainable development; and the sustainability of development informatics interventions.

Current work covers positive and negative contribution of ICTs to climate change (mitigation, monitoring, strategy and adaptation); environmentally-responsible outsourcing; e-waste flows and strategies; and identification and mitigation of ICT4D project risk. Recent research projects include "ICTs, Climate Change and Development".

The organization has no registered commitments.

allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
