<div>Hi Aisha,</div><div><br></div><div>Here are a few categories (there are lots more orgs in each category):</div><div><br></div><div>1. Traditional big non-profit orgs and companies that are looking specifically for tech people. Many NGO's (particularly the bigger ones) have full time ICT people on staff:</div>
<div><br></div><div>Management Sciences for Health (MSH), </div><div>John Snow International (JSI), </div><div>Academy for educational Development (AED). </div>
<div>Grameen Foundation AppLab</div><div>UNICEF Innovation Group</div><div><br></div><div>2. Find the non-profits that are doing implementation work and run ICT projects, such as </div><div><br></div><div>Partners in Health (PIH), </div>
<div>Center for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ), </div><div>D-Tree International, </div><div>Millenium Villages Project, </div><div>Baobob Health.</div><div><br></div><div>3. Small Software companies that partner with the above and below on many different projects.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Dimagi (woo-hoo!) </div><div>DevSeed</div><div><br></div><div>4. Bigger Tech Orgs that have ICTD software divisions</div><div><br></div><div>Microsoft Research</div><div>Nokia</div><div>Telefonica</div>
<div>Google</div><div>Thoughtworks</div><div><br></div><div>5. Dedicated Product companies for ICTD</div><div><br></div><div>FrontlineSMS</div><div>Moca</div><div>DataDyne</div><div>Cell-Life</div><div>ClickDiagnostics</div>
<div>Cell-Scope </div><div><br></div><div>You may want to contact Anjali from G-Lab over at sloan, her students may have good lists they've already made through their field research. Feel free to e-mail me directly if you have further questions.</div>

<br>
I was wondering if there is a list of companies that hire full-time employee to work on ICT4Dev related work. I'm aware of the traditional non-profit organizations and companies, but many of these are not specifically hiring people with tech backgrounds that are looking for full-time ICT4Dev work.<br>
I was hoping there might be a list, website, etc or that we could compile a list based on the responses to this email. It does not matter where (globally) the company/organization is located. I'm very curious about companies that are looking to hire MS and/or PhDs with tech/engineering background?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
Aisha Walcott<br>
