This platform will be based on the DiGi-platform of DGF. It will include the local part of a regional Information-system on ICT4D, implemented together with Digital Dividends. (2) Organization of inclusive, broad ICT “town meetings” iNicaragua-2004 and iNicaragua-2005. About fifteen autonomous, issues–centered track–groups will prepare their part of the events. The process of decentralized preparation and follow-up is at least as important as the event itself. All sectors of Nicaragua are involved. |
