Promoting ICT for Human Development in Asia

Document Actions
Expected Outputs

The project is expected to result in the following:

  • A detailed technical report of the research findings.

  • Up to six Policy Briefs (8-12 pages each) on specific topics and issues arising out of this analysis and study, and directed primarily at policy-makers and governments.
    The Policy Briefs will come from summaries of policy actions identified in each country study. The Policy Briefs would highlight issues that are cross-cutting and relevant to most, if not all, nine countries selected for the study. The preparation of the Policy Briefs will be assigned to the Lead Researchers and the overall Research Coordinator.

  • A Roundtable discussion on ICT and Human Development: Realizing the Millennium Development Goals will be organized around the upcoming World Summit on Information Society (WSIS), scheduled to be held in Geneva in December 2003.

  • Tabling of the report at the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva in December 2003, to assist the WSIS process, and to serve as a guide to other regions of the world interested in conducting similar research to assess the potential of ICT for reducing poverty and enhancing human development within their respective regions.
    A structured event (eg. a panel discussion) for release of the final report and accompanying Policy Briefs, will be planned at WSIS.

  • National, one-day conferences in each country participating country in the study to disseminate the final research results; the conferences will be organized by the UNDP Country Offices and the primary presentations will be made by the national Lead Researcher and his research team, assisted by the Research Coordinator.
