Donor agencies have shown an interest in ICT for development since the 1990s (Heeks, 2009). Recently, it has become a more strategic priority for them because ICT offers more innovative, cheaper and affordable ways of delivering development services. The 2017 OECD-WTO monitoring exercise found that ICT is prioritised in the development strategy of two-thirds of the donors, followed by e-government and e-commerce (58% and 50% respectively). Donors report that this area is attracting either significant or some growth of demand (44% for each). Although e-commerce and other digital strategies feature in two-thirds of the country and regional dialogues, less than half of the donors operate special initiatives covering these areas.
