ICT for Development in Samoa

The programme will draw heavily on the findings documented during the PA phase and aim to balance and improve access to information for citizens of Samoa, facilitate their dynamic participation in policy level decision-making. This will be addressed through the development of several inter-related ICT4D programme components. Through these initiatives the issues of access, transparency and equity will be addressed.
