Bellanet is an international initiative with a mission to increase the impact of development activities through greater collaboration. Collaboration is enhanced by more effective use of information and communication technologies(ICTs). At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro the world was faced with the fact that, in spite of massive and accelerating problems of poverty and environmental degradation in developing countries, levels of spending on development assistance were stagnant or declining among many donor nations, and were likely to remain so for a long time. During follow-up meetings, a number of strategies were discussed. One such meeting took place in Bellagio, Italy(from which the name "Bellanet" was coined), where senior representatives of twenty development agencies concluded that one response to the challenges at hand was to increase the impact and relevance of donor actions through greater collaboration. A subgroup(the World Bank, the MacArthur Foundation, SAREC [Swedish Agency for Research Co-operation with Developing Countries], and IDRC [The International Development Research Centre] was asked to investigate options. A proposal for action was formulated and, at a second Bellagio meeting in late 1994, the formation of Bellanet was endorsed. Bellanet was given a mandate to promote collaboration through the use of emerging information and communication technologies(ICTs). In early 1995 Bellanet officially started with the first meeting of the Bellanet International Steering Committee(BISC) and the formation of the Bellanet International Secretariat established at the International Development Research Centre(IDRC), a federal organization established in Ottawa, Ontario.

Bellanet est une initiative internationale dont la mission est d'augmenter l'impact des activités de développement grâce à une meilleure collaboration. Cette collaboration est soutenue par une utilisation plus efficace des technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC). Lors du Sommet de la Terre de Rio de Janeiro en 1992, le monde a dû reconnaître qu'en dépit des problèmes grandissants de pauvreté massive et de dégradation environnementale dans les pays en développement, le niveau des dépenses en aide au développement de la part des pays donateurs stagnait ou diminuait, tendance qui semblait bien être à long terme. Diverses stratégies ont été discutées dans des rencontres faisant suite au sommet de Rio. Lors d'une des rencontres, à Bellagio en Italie (d'où le nom «Bellanet»), des hauts représentants de vingt agences de développement ont conclu qu'une réponse aux défis était d'augmenter l'impact et la pertinence des actions des donateurs au moyen d'une plus grande collaboration. Un sous-groupe (la Banque Mondiale, la Fondation MacArthur, le SAREC [Agence suédoise de coopération en matière de recherche avec les pays en développement] et le CRDI [Centre de recherches pour le développement international] reçut pour tâche d'effectuer des recherches sur cette approche, et a soutenu la formation de Bellanet, avec le mandat d'appuyer la collaboration par l'utilisation de technologies de l'information et de la communication (TIC) émergentes, comme l'Internet. Au début de 1995, Bellanet a été officiellement lancée avec la première rencontre du Comité directeur international Bellanet (CDIB) et la formation du Secrétariat international Bellanet établi au Centre de recherches pour le développement international (CRDI), un organisme fédéral établi à Ottawa (Ontario).
