To improve access of communities to essential basic services
(such as transport, energy, waste, communications and housing)
through various mechanisms including private sector delivery.
2) Increasing Enterprise Opportunities

of enterprises and communities to a broader choice of technology
options through developing local capacity. ITC staff use participatory
methods and work with stakeholders at all levels. Under the
two strategic themes they specialise in:
Sustainable
Livelihoods - issues surrounding sustainable rural
livelihoods, such as income diversification, access to markets
and services, and community-based natural resource management.
Energy and Environment -
decentralised electrification, renewable energy services,
energy from biomass, energy efficiency of small enterprises
and energy usage and demand surveys as well as water supply
and low cost construction.
