The 3rd ICT4DA2021 Conference aims to bring together researchers, engineers, developers, and practitioners from the academia and the industry to present and discuss their research work in the area of ICT for Development. The conference seeks to facilitate the transfer of experience, adaptation of methods, and where possible, foster collaboration among different groups.

All accepted and presented papers will be submitted to IEEE Xplore for publication. Due to the COVID pandemic, ICT4DA2021 will be held in hybrid mode where both in person and virtual presentation is allowed. Please visit the conference webpage for more details: http://www.ict4daconf.org

Bahir Dar (in Amharic: ባህር ዳር) is a port on the south shore of the huge inland Lake named Tana. It is described by some people as the Ethiopian Riviera. The moniker sounds strange, but when you pull into town and see the wide streets shaded by palm trees and sweeping views across Lake Tana’s shimmering blue waters, you’ll perhaps understand. More than a block back from the shore, however, Bahir Dar is just another busy Ethiopian city.

We would like to send our greetings and looking forward to seeing you in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia for Memorable experiences.
