What Skills Do You Need for ICT4D?

The most common question I receive is, “What skills do I need to succeed in ICT4D?”

Emergent digital development professionals want to know if they should take more formal education courses, improve their technology skills, or volunteer to improve their chances for a dream job in ICT4D.
