InterDev is a mutualist information service based on new information technologies whose construction began in 1999. It offers development practitioners validated references on experiences, techniques, and methods. In different thematic fields (food-processing, agro-ecological farming systems, etc.), a network of practitioners from developed and developing countries produces and makes available operational information based on their practices. This information is organised in databases, accessible through a Web site that is a platform for exchange between these development stakeholders.


InterDev's purpose is to encourage development practitioners to produce and exchange information based on their practices and focused on their experiences, and the techniques and tools they use professionally.The information service does not bring together information specialists but rather practitioners in immediate contact with the realities in the field and development practices.
   
Building the InterDev information service was based on elaboration, in partnership, of
- information management and optimisation tools that are user-friendly and allow information to be shared between multiple sites, and
- common norms and methods for treating the information to ensure its quality.
