Abstract
Abstract Information workers as yet have not fully understood the relationship existing between information and development. After a short exposition of this relationship, in which the author indicates that information should be seen as one of the essential know‐how resources, this article argues the value and necessity of information for development. An attempt is made to classify the various areas where information is needed for development, as well as the information systems and infrastructures available and/or required to provide for the different needs. A number of reasons are given as to why information has not yet played the role in development that it could play. In conclusion, some guidelines are given for optimal use of information as a resource for development.
