UNDP and Microsoft Announce Technology Partnership To Combat Poverty in Developing Nations Site web de l'activité
Description de l'activité:
In January 2004, The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Microsoft Corp. announced a technology partnership to create and implement information and communications technology projects that will help developing countries achieve the Millennium Development Goals.
Under the agreement, announced at the Annual Meeting 2004 of the World Economic Forum in Davos by UNDP Administrator Mark Malloch Brown and Microsoft Chairman and Chief Software Architect Bill Gates, Microsoft and the UNDP will work together to build capacity in developing countries around the world, by providing technology-enabled training for youth and adults in community education centers. By providing skills training, content, curricula and other new resources, this partnership will help expand UNDP's ongoing development efforts and will encourage the exploration of creative, technology-based solutions to the world's most pressing development challenges. The alliance will draw on the resources of Microsoft's Unlimited Potential program, the company's global initiative to deliver computer literacy and job skills training to underserved communities.
