A Process for Developing Internet Policy: The model of the national ICT / Internet Summit

Page Tools
A national ICT strategy is best developed through a consultative process involving a wide range of stakeholders. This principle was recently demonstrated in the Kyrgyz Republic, where the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and the Global Internet Policy Initiative (GIPI) collaborated with the Government in co-sponsoring a process that included a national ICT strategy "summit." The process leading up to and continuing after the summit provides an important model for digital divide/digital opportunity efforts in other countries.

The event in Kyrgyzstan, formally called the "National Information and Communications Technologies for Development Summit," was held on February 27-28 in Bishkek. It was organized by the government of the Kyrgyz Republic, UNDP, UNDESA, and GIPI, through the NGO Internews (more below), with financial support from the Soros Foundation Kyrgyzstan, USAID, Kyrgyztelecom, the ISP Elcat, and other corporations.
