Information about the project
Project title *
Malaysia ICT Volunteer (MIV)
Title acronym
MIV
Description *
ICT continues to evolve around the world and Malaysians should not get left behind in this race. With that in mind, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) has developed the MIV program to encourage digital and media literate citizens to participate effectively, ethically, and responsibly and spur demand for communications and multimedia services. MIV is designed as an empowerment platform to enhance and sustain digital literacy development among Malaysians. In addition to promoting digital inclusiveness, MIV has also produced digital leaders within local communities who are capable of developing and creating ICT applications, services and contents appropriate for the user groups in those communities. With the motto “Learn, Enjoy, Serve, Respect” it is hoped that through the MIV Program, digital and media literacy will be adopted nationwide.
