The International Institute for Communication and Development (IICD) is a non-profit foundation established by the Ministry for Development Cooperation of The Netherlands in 1996. IICD's aim is to support sustainable development through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs), notably computers and the Internet.

The validity of the work of IICD, as well as that of several other sister organizations under the umbrella of 'tvind' has been called into question by authorities.
