RTI is a pioneer in applying information and communication technology (ICT) to accelerate development. We have more than 22 years' experience designing, implementing, and managing ICT projects and systems in developing countries. Our expertise spans Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Middle East.
Our team includes specialists in online communities and Web sites; information systems assessment, design, and development; monitoring and evaluation (M&E); data capture, processing, and transmission; information security, e-learning; e-government; health information systems (HIS), education management information systems (EMIS), and geographic information systems (GIS); and advanced telecommunications and networking technologies.
We work with private sector providers of ICT materials and services to create sustainable public-private partnerships in the developing world. Examples include co-locating telecommunication resources, sharing bandwidth, and creating advertising sponsorships for public access telecenters and technical training academies.
