This page is designed to highlight some of the
past, ongoing and envisaged development
experiences in the field of ICTs around the
world. In the dynamic context of overall
political, economic and cultural globalisation
the potential of the new technologies, and
internet in particular is being mobilized in
order to enhance development and bridge the
growing digital divide between industrial and
emerging countries. Joint efforts are laid down
to attain more efficient, ubiquitous and
sustainable outcome in terms of welfare
improvement and wider openings. The awareness of
global interdependence and the need of global
concerted action raised by the United Nations
Millennium Declaration has been continued
throughout the WSIS process aiming at the
fulfilment of the MDGs and the WSIS ICT
development goals.
Technology is a powerful tool for revolutionizing
production, consumption and market as a whole as well as for
giving opportunity to valorise grassroots and preserve
indigenous knowledge for the future generation. But most of
all, ICTs have a vocation to
disseminate knowledge, fight diseases, empower people and
improve their lives. Their potential to harness and protect
natural resources, boost economy and back-up social
development is not just appealing but worth to be further
explored. The assessment of the ICTs' power today is being
now
a continuous process on the basis of a number of
experiences, some of which, successful, are highlighted here
below. The future role of ICTs is to be determined
accordingly to their power to catalyze positive change and
induce development and value increase.
Now you can have a look at our stories
and discover how ICTs can bring solutions to deep-rooted or
emerging problems.
