ICT4D refers to using information and communication technologies for development purposes. Crowdsourcing involves outsourcing tasks to a large group of people through an open call. It has several advantages for development projects, including engaging affected populations and triangulating information to verify reports. Crowdsourcing methods can be unbounded, bounded, or combined. Successful crowdsourcing requires defining the issue, crowd, tools, analysis, action, and monitoring. Examples of ICT4D and crowdsourcing projects discussed include a text messaging health project in Kenya, crisis mapping in Sudan, and using Twitter to share voicemails from Egypt during an internet blackout.
