CONTRIBUTION FROM Diana Parra

An important issue to address is “The future of e-government: Open Government and Collaboration”. Internet is changing and also e-Government. The countries are making progress in e-government but the dynamics of ICT is often faster and e-government key factors must evolve. How do the governments prepare for this change? Which are the expectations that people are having in their interactions with the government? The countries are doing Statements to “promote policies whereby governments and entities make available to the society, in readily accessible form, information and data of public interest, which can be used by third parties to create new services for citizens and businesses”. What does this mean? What are the implications for governments, for stakeholders and people in general? How to address the collaboration as a step ahead of participation?

I think in WSIS 2010 there is a limited discussion on disability...  so I suggest

1- Practices of inclusion of disabled (deaf and dumb,, intellectual disability and blinds) through ICT.

2- Inclusion of out of schoolchildren (nomads and deaf) through the laptop for each child project

3- how to use these laptops to dry the resources of illiteracy .

I think another important key issue should be discussed is Telecentre academy,, it has its role in e-education, training and capacity building and its unique system http://www.telecentre.org/notes   where more than a million Telecentre mangers and operators are going to be trained (training of trainee TOT) by 2012.. also a call for training one million women in 25,000 telecentre all over the world in the year 2011.  in addition to that it gives it certificates accredited by IGNOU and 14 other universities.

WSIS is called to strengthen strategies directly linked with the Millennium Development Goals. In developing countries we need a more effective and “bottom-up” approach to information processes. A mechanical approach can be a risk: top-down models (as diffusion of information Rostow’s theory) were only short-term effective in countries as in Latin America. So, I think next WSIS Forum key issues can be:

-          ¿what role can play the information society to give a voice to marginalized people?

-          ¿what role can play bottom-up media (as alternative/community/ethnic/participatory/civic/public media) to strengthen peace-building processes?

-          In a world where information and communication are economical values,  ¿it will be possible to develop an international consensus over ethic in media and ethical public policies on media?

More, I think it can be interesting a series of round-tables over:

-          Ethnic/native/indigenous/aboriginal media

-          Community media

-          Open source software and the freedom of information: strategies for a real human development

-          Open source information/education resources as a social change tool

Thanks for the opportunity to express my opinion

Best regards

WSIS and MDGs.

What about ICT and Assistive Technology issues that should be addressed?

How will the individual manage the equipment in all environments especially for Persons with Disabilities.

How will the use of ICT&AT promote inclusion of the individual into activities in the school and community?

What are the features/ capabilities of the technology that would assist the PwDs.

There is a challenge in looking for solutions to the "vendor capture" problem in the context of e-government procurement and interoperability enforcement by the public sector. Governments often lack awareness about strategic procurement and many professional consultants are only prepared to provide vendor-side strategies. The WTO has taken some plurilateral action to combat mistakes in procurement with its Agreement on Government Procurement.

A negative example from the European Commission which gets it completely wrong, makes proposals to undermine public procurement power and strengthen the strategic position of vendors:

http://register.consilium.europa.eu/pdf/en/07/st05/st05751.en07.pdf

It is great to have this documents available because it makes apparent what can go wrong.

In a situation where several governments consider massive spending on egovernment solutions a procurement strategy is essential to reap the benefits and cut costs. WSIS 2011 should discuss the "vendor capture" issue along openness and interoperability enforcement because it is essential to egovernment.

A couple of issues related to impacts of ICTs on KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION, SHARING AND ACCESS

  • Is there a change in the nature of knowledge influenced by ICTs
  • Enlarging of the codified (explicit) body of knowledge on institutional, disciplinary, national and regional levels
  • The global nature of knowledge creation
  • Fragmentation and reintegration of various areas of knowledge
  • Participation of developing and undeveloped world in knowledge production (how to encourage an active participation instead of passive consumption?)

ICT for disability

ICT for out of school children

TELECENTRE MOVEMENT IN SUDAN

image

Another theme can be discussed in the WSIS 2011 is ICT for disadvantage community including people with special needs and nomads children. Disabled individuals are still excluded in many ways of life, especially information communication technology (ICT), so ICT training is an important key qualification and the Standard ICT trainings are insufficient for marginalized community. ICT can help the deaf to communicate with their families and friends. It helps them have another way of communications instead of the sign language through chatting and e-mail all over the world instead of one place. This improves their skills through the computers (ICT) and helps them in sharing knowledge, experience and best practices. ICT can be the eyes for blinds, brain for intellectual disabled and the tongue for deaf and the ears for the dumb. Nomads are another example of marginalized community. Nomad's children travel with their parents looking for better grazing areas for their animals due to climate change, so they miss the school.   In Sudan, hundreds of thousands of nomad's children are excluded from education and they are out of school due to climate change or poverty. ICT can play a great role to get them back to the education system.

Under the WSIS e-Learning Action Line, the UNESCO Communication and Information (CI) Sector ICT in Education Section will be highlighting the new, innovative UNESCO Open Educational Resources (OER) Platform.

The OER Plaform will make selected UNESCO publications available as OERs for stakeholders such as teachers, learners, and education professionals to freely use, adapt and share their resources. We hope to launch the Platform in late 2011 with a limited preview at the WSIS Forum in May.

More information on UNESCO's OER programme can eb foudn at:
English - www.unesco.org/webworld/en/fr
French - www.unesco.org/webworld/fr/oer

We believe by increasing awareness and access to, as well as building the capacities to viably develop OERs are vitally important to building inclusive knowledge societies and to achieving sustainable development.

We would like to suggest a session on open educational resources and the related fields of Open Access (OA) to scientific information, and ree and Open Source Software (FOSS).

Please contact: a.caine@unesco.org for more information

Two main topics need to be explored more widely:

1. ICT and the new role of Government

2. Unified/common ICT language and terminologies

 1. ICT and the new role of Government

Giving an account to the international tendency to transform government role from controlling to collaborating , and in light of the new emerging assistive ICT(s) that effectively enable the collaboration between Government(s), Civil society and private sector, shall different themes be clearly explored,

for instance:

1.1. Web 2.0 concept and tools – advantages and disadvantages

Applying web 2.0 as an collaborative enabler and tool, many benefits and advantages were widely discussed (such as engaging and empowering citizens), however the disadvantages that may associate such application including new kind(s) of divide that may result, shall be one of our concerns, that need discussions and sharing of practices and solutions

1.2. ICT role in changing citizens current culture and disseminating awareness about their new role

Shifting the role of government means giving more power to citizens and change their role from receivers to main contributors, this necessitate new culture among citizens to effectively benefited from the transformation process, here comes the importance of using ICT tools to implement awareness among citizens and change the current culture, giving special focus on the role of social media in this context.

 2. Unified/common ICT language and terminologies

there is a global diversity in using ICT terminologies, definitions and concepts, that urges the existence of international directory of ICT terminology and principles, which accordingly can minimize this GAP in used terminologies and create common international ICT language.

Contrubution from Dr Freddy Villao 

I strongly believe that part of the 2011 WSIS Forum should be used to formulate, in line with emergent ICT developments, more current and realistic ICT indicators which would permit greater accuracy in the measurement and follow-up of WSIS targets.

The Geneva WSIS Plan of Action defined 10 specific targets to be achieved by 2015 to building an inclusive information society and it calls for the establishment of ‘A realistic international performance evaluation and benchmarking (both qualitative and quantitative), through comparable statistical indicators and research results, should be developed to follow up the implementation of the objectives, goals and targets in the Plan of Action, taking into account different national circumstances’.

The World Telecommunication/ICT Development Report 2010: Monitoring the WSIS Targets, a mid-term review, recognizes that the WSIS targets ‘are not only very broad, but also do not include measurable indicators, which makes monitoring something of a challenging proposition and international comparisons almost impossible’.  To address these challenges, this report interprets the targets and proposes a number of indicators for benchmarking that could be collected by countries before 2015. Although some data are collected at the international level, only 45 ITU Member States responded to the 2009 ITU questionnaire of the “Survey on the WSIS target”’. One reason for it could be that some of the indicators selected are too difficult to be collected by all the countries. In addition not all targets are related to all WSIS lines.

On the other hand, the ICT Development Index (IDI), made up of 11 indicators covering ICT access, use and skill, does not indicate which WSIS target is measured and which WSIS action lines is connected with them. In this case 154 members have collected the indicators in 2009.

Perhaps new ICT realistic and comparable indicators need to be formulated in accordance with today’s ICT development which would permit measuring and following-up the WSIS targets. Maybe it could be necessary to harmonize both groups of indicators: WSIS targets indicators and the IDI indicators. For example the following indicators could be considered: 

  1. Percentage of the population who visit a Website.
  2. Percentage of the population who use a social networking site. 
  3. Numbers of domains per 1000 inhabitants.
  4. Average No. of hours spent online at home per person per year.
  5.  Average No. of web page viewed per person per year.
  6.  Volume of data downloaded (terabits) per year.
  7.  Internet traffic index.
  8. Percentage of business with internet   access
  9. Percentage of business with web presence
  10.  Percentage of business with internet access and broadband as main type of connection.
  11. Percentage of business which place orders via the Internet o web
  12.  Percentage o business which received orders via the Internet or web.
  13. Universal Service Obligation as a percentage of GNP.
  14.  Numbers of cybercafes per 1000 inhabitants.

 

Best regards,

I suggest these issues for WSIS 2011:

1- The International framework for global cooperation against cyber crimes and threats.

Cyber crimes and threats are global. But the at present there is not any global framework to act against them. The question is whether international conventions such as Budapest Convention can  work or not. This issue has been disscused in several panels in WSIS 2010 but the ideas are too different and there is not any consensus or agreement.  I think one or two discussion in this field is not sufficient. We need several interactive panels which discuss different aspects of the issue. In addition we need really interactive panels. Unfortunately, in 2010 each panel deserves to one especific viewpoint. In one panel international organizations such as UNICRI explain their achievments. In the other one some panelists describe the issue from European viewpoint and then in another panel the panelists reject former ideas on the basis of the American viewpoint.

2- Child Onlin Protection:

Recently a lot of activities have done to provide safe cyber space for children. Especially, after COP has been strated by ITU, an international framework has been established which facilitates cooperation between governments and public and private sections in different countries. But it seems that we need more discussions to find better ways to cooperate with each other.

3- Measuring ICT for Developemnt;

There was a panel in WSIS 2010 to discuss about measuring ICT. But I think we need more discussions. In that panel most of the panelists represents UN organizations but we need more contribution from academicians, NGOs and private sectors.

From Alfonso Molina

"I think an important issue to be addressed is the development, diffusion and implementation of knowledge-based community-building virtual platforms for social innovations.  This should look at the roles of different types of knowledges within processes of social learning that integrate the physical and virtual dimensions of ICT4D projects and initiatives.  This theme is deeply related to the problem of scaling up of projects into ICT4D or social-innovation movements."

I am satisfied with you. Regarding the dissemination of ICT and even its
implementation, the experience prompts me to say that without a working
synergy between public sector actors, private sector entities of civil
society, international agencies and partners multi, whatever the
achievements in the field of digital technology, the impact is not
noticeable in terms of ownership and improved living conditions.

Brazil, India, China ... just to name a few there that have sufficiently
proved the importance of a planned development by making use of digital
technology.
Africa excels in the use of mobile phones certainly, but we must also
respond to several parameters such as the problem of energy, broadband, the
transition to IPv6, the management of domain names for some countries, ICT
policy, regulation etc ...

These are points that still need splashes.

Open Access to scientific and technical knowledge is an essential component of the information society. Aspects of two Action Lines from the WSIS Plan of Action – Action Line C3 (“Access to Information and Knowledge") and Action Line C7 ("e-Learning" -- specifically as it relates to e-Science) – are tied to Open Access. 

I would like to suggest a session to discuss Open Access at the upcoming WSIS Forum to continue the global debate, share recent developments, and discuss current barriers for OA adoption.

Human Rights and ICT

As an independent topic, I am suggesting human rights and ICT even though many issues mentioned in previous posts are included in the concept of using ICT for the betterment of society. However in this changing ICT landscape that we need to discuss specifically how ICT can contribute to advocate fundamental rights of human beings. We need to identify emerging issues and their impact on human rights and bring those issues to people's attention and also to relevant bodies.

I know for example that there are groups on A2k, digital divide, health, open access, and so I will not repeat those. However there are other human rights topics that need to be addressed. My suggestion would therefore include the focusing on the following when dealing with human rights issues:

  1.   Censorship, human rights and digital rights:[building on the civil society declaration for WSIS] Pluralism of the sources of information and the media must be safeguarded and promoted. The right to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers, but also because it implies free flow of information, free circulation of ideas, press freedom, and availability of the tools to access information and share knowledge.  
  2. Privacy, surveillance: the more technology progresses the worse privacy laws and surveillance get. New means must be developed to protect the right to privacy and freedom from surveillance. Mobile and location technologies need to take into account respect for privacy as well. Hardware open and closed platforms and devices need to protect privacy. As stated in the civil society declaration, what steps need to be taken to preserve privacy, at the international, regional, national, community, institutional, and individual level, must start with the establishment of national data protection laws to protect individual rights with respect to the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information
  3. Freedom of Expression in the age of new media: the right to express one's opinion through disseminating information on the Internet or through mobile devices. Rights of bloggers, social networking sites etc.
  4. Invasive genetic technology and biometric technology: Genetic technology "privatizes human rights issues by placing the power to violate rights in the hands of private actors throughout society -- the biotech companies that develop the technology, the public that demands it and the health care professionals that implement it."

  5. National and Int'l ICT strategies [evaluation of what worked and what didn’t in terms of resptect for human rights in the digital age.
  6.  Corporate Responsibility and Complicity: how should we hold corporations responsible and ccountable in the interest of the protection of human rights? 
  7. Capacity building: focusing on using ICT for human rights education and capacity building.
  8. Using the information and communication society to advance gender equality. As a general fundamental right, we also need to focus on ICTs that that promote participation of girls and women in the process of building the Information Society.  
  9.  copyright, DRM and intellectual property

There are numerous other issues but I think those would be my top issues and would like to see them included in any future meetings.

As part of the UN's Millennium Development Goals, it is essential that low-income areas actively participate in the process of combating HIV and other diseases and ensuring environmental sustainability. Rather than be restricted to more advanced scientific systems, research in how to effectively accomplish these goals should stem from the global scientific community. In this regard, the forum might focus on the nature of global scientific knowledge production. A couple of issues that might be addressed broadly related to the nature of global scientific knowledge production include:

1.) Are ICTs being used to create a truly global scientific enterprise in which those working in the research systems in low-income areas not only consume knowledge from other locations but are also actively involved in the creation of new knowledge?
2.) Are ICTs being used as a tool for scientific collaboration both within and between countries? If so, is this collaboration improving the visibility of research stemming from low-income areas (as measured through bibliometric counts)?
3.) What gender disparities exist within the scientific enterprise in low-income areas? What gender disparities exist in the social/organizational environments of the research communities in low-income areas? Are female researchers using ICTs to integrate themselves into professional networks or to improve the quality/quantity of publication productivity so their research is more visible to the scientific community at large?

Controbution de  l'association Sindbad Méditerranée Sans Handicap et le Réseau Solidaire International « Handicap et TIC »

PROPOSITIONS POUR UNE STRATEGIE CONCERNANT L'INSERTION SOCIOPROFESSIONNELLE DES PERSONNES HANDICAPEES ET LES NTIC

Avec l'appui du Conseil Régional Provence Alpes-Cote d'Azur, apporté dans le cadre de la coopération décentralisée, l'association Sindbad Méditerranée Sans Handicap et le Réseau Solidaire International « Handicap et TIC », se sont engagés depuis plusieurs années dans une réponse concrète à l'exclusion du marché du travail dont sont trop souvent victimes les personnes handicapées.

Ces deux entités ont fait le choix de promouvoir l'insertion socioprofessionnelle des  personnes handicapées par la mise en oeuvre d'opportunités de télétravail adaptées à leurs déficiences fonctionnelles et aux besoins des différents marchés du travail -où elles mènent leurs actions.

Sur les différents territoires où elles sont amenées à travailler, les travaux se déroulent selon la méthode suivante :

  • Informer et sensibiliser les différents acteurs nationaux (Etat, collectivités locales, entreprises, ONG, associations de personnes handicapées) sur les opportunités de télétravail adaptées aux personnes handicapées ;
    Identifier les potentialités et les compétences des personnes handicapées susceptibles d'être valorisées par le biais du télétravail ;
  • Déterminer des secteurs d'application prioritaires où des besoins pérennes existent ;
    Former les personnes handicapées à la maitrise des technologies de l'information et de la communication pour faciliter leur insertion dans les secteurs d'application retenus à l'issue des deux phases précédentes ;
  • Expérimenter et promouvoir auprès d'employeurs potentiels un espace -pilotage de télétravail partagé et adapté à divers types de handicap ;
    Améliorer l'information des personnes handicapées par le développement et la mise en ligne d'un site portail spécialisé dans la formation de l'emploi des personnes handicapées ;
  • Promouvoir une législation sur l'emploi des personnes handicapées favorisant le télétravail sur la base des leçons à tirer des actions conduites.

Le Réseau Solidaire International « Handicap et TIC » est désormais implanté en Tunisie, en Algérie, au Maroc et en Mauritanie (pour le Maghreb) avec un Point Focal à Tanger qui couvre le Maghreb et le Moyen Orient. Dakar (Sénégal) gère l'ensemble des pays de l'Afrique de l'Ouest avec la préfiguration d'un centre de formation pour personnes handicapées aux métiers du télétravail. Et le siège de Sindbad Méditerranée Sans Handicap gère l'Europe et la coordination du Réseau Solidaire International « Handicap et TIC ».

Nous travaillons actuellement sur la mise en place d'un Comité de Pilotage qui regrouperait l'ensemble des acteurs travaillant dans le domaine du Handicap et des nouvelles technologies. Notamment, les collectivités territoriales, l'UNESCO, le PNUD, Microsoft, l'Agence Mondiale de Solidarité Numérique, les acteurs de terrain, etc.

L'objectif du Comité de Pilotage étant de définir une politique et une stratégie commune concernant la fracture numérique, la coopération décentralisée et « quel type de formation pour quel public ? » concernant l'insertion socioprofessionnelle des personnes handicapées. Ce regroupement de partenaires éviterait ainsi de soutenir, ou de monter des projets découpés de la réalité, en n'ayant aucune vision globale des problèmes liés au handicap et aux NTIC. Le Réseau Solidaire Inter,national en assurerait la gestion et la coordination.

Il y aurait lieu, également, au sein de ces points focaux, de mettre en place des cellules de recherche consacrées aux dernières technologies en matière de formations et d'outils pédagogiques. Ces cellules auraient pour objet de mettre à disposition des éducateurs du monde de l'éducation et de la formation, les dernières technologies sur le marché. Mais également : la recherche et la réflexion d'outils pédagogiques adaptés à chaque pays.

Il devient désormais urgent que chacun assume ses responsabilités. Les personnes en situation de handicap, leurs familles et les ONG ne peuvent plus attendre. Et la fracture numérique ne cesse de se creuser entre le Nord et le Sud.

Nous espérons, lors de la prochaine réunion qui se tiendra à New York au mois de mai 2011, pouvoir animer un atelier avec l'UNESCO tel que nous l'avions fait en mai 2010 à Genève. En espérant avoir Microsoft à nos côtés.

Enfin, pour finir, nous restons disponibles avec tous les acteurs qui seraient intéressés par notre démarche. Il est regrettable que cette réunion se tienne à New York, pour des raisons financières. Beaucoup de nos partenaires de l'Afrique de l'Ouest ainsi que du Maghreb n'auront pas les moyens financiers d'effectuer le déplacement... Il conviendrait alors de le faire à Genève.

I believe that the WSIS forum should also cover the issues of the major changes in the agenda of public and cultural  diplomacy being altered in the age of rapid development of social media, or Web 2.0 trends in global communications. Though interesting attempts have been done to frame public diplomacy and cultural diplomacy in to the new realm of emerged social phenomena, there is still a little clarity about what exactly “open source” approach means when it concerns international work of major national cultural organizations. It is important to address this problem by investigation the nature of social media as a complex phenomenon and question the potentials of social media to reach global audiences within the agenda of cultural institutions’ international practices. Specifically, it is significant to look closely at international social networks on the Internet through a multifaceted prism of geographical, cultural, social, and political diversity; and critically analyses the abilities of the social media to represent international publics on the Internet as a democratic and inclusive community.

 Academie des TIC:

L'académie des TIC est une initiative dont l'objectif est de fournir  aux gestionnaires de télécentre  la formation continue, le renforcement des capacités et des opportunités de développement professionnel. Elle pourra être structurée comme un consortium d'académies nationales et des partenaires avec une petite unité de soutien au niveau global. L'Académie soutient et coordonne les programmes de formation, favorise le développement collaboratif et le partage des ressources, et maintient l'agrégation et la certification des normes.

Objectifs de l'Académie des TIC

-veiller à ce que les gérants de télécentre aient les compétences et l'appui nécessaires  pour exceller dans leurs activités quotidiennes;

-organiser des cycles de formation.

Au niveau sous régional, l'Académie des TIC va:

  • Mettre en place des académies nationales, en partenariat avec des institutions universitaires, des gouvernements, des ONG et le secteur privé, et apporter un soutien pour  la planification des affaires et la durabilité

  • Fixer des normes pour l'accréditation des académies nationales et développer un système de certification qui reconnaît les formations suivies par les gestionnaires de télécentres et la validation des compétences  acquises par l'expérience du travail; promouvoir l'accréditation et la certification au moyen d'une marque ou un sceau, symbolisant une haute qualité de la formation et des compétences

  • Soutenir le développement d'un curriculum libre d'accès et promouvoir la création, la coordination et l'amélioration des ressources communes

  • Faciliter les événements, le réseautage, les activités de partage des connaissances, y compris la participation de la communauté à un contenu multilingue basé sur la plateforme de formation libre de l'UNESCO (y compris le curriculum, la certification des normes, les meilleures pratiques, les modèles, la liste des experts, etc.)

  • Élaborer une plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne

  • Développer des partenariats pour obtenir des ressources supplémentaires et du soutien

  • Atteindre les gouvernements et les bailleurs de fonds soutenant les télécentres afin de les aider à intégrer le renforcement continue et durable des capacités dans leurs programmes d'activités.

Au niveau  national et sous régional, chaque académie va localiser les matériels , délivrer des  formations, et  offrir aux gestionnaires l'opportunité d'être en rapport avec un système de mentorat et de coaching continu.  L'académie des TIC est une initiative participative. Les académies nationales se réunissent pour déterminer l'orientation et les activités de l'unité de soutien global.

L’Académie des TIC aura entre autre comme rôle :

-la Recherche en synergie avec les différents centres de recherche au niveau national, sous régional, régional et international pour des enquêtes sur l’impact social et économique de l’accès public sur les TIC.

En examinant les télécentre, les bibliothèques et les autres lieux publics qui offrent l'accès public aux Technologies de l'Information et de la Communication (TIC), ce projet étudiera l'impact de l'accès aux TIC dans un certain nombre de domaines, dont l'emploi et le revenu, l'éducation, l'engagement civique, la démocratie et la transparence gouvernementale, la préservation culturelle et linguistique, et la santé.

Les activités de recherche de l’Académie des TIC sont les suivants:

  • Des recherches exploratoires pour en savoir plus sur les réseaux, les problèmes, les zones géographiques et les collectivités locales; 

  • Renforcer les capacités de recherche des partenaires afin qu'ils soient mieux en mesure de contribuer et de partager leurs connaissances apprises; 

  • Études d'apprentissage qui mettent l'accent sur l'évaluation et l'amélioration de nos propres méthodes de travail

l'Academie des TIC soutient également les innovateurs et jeunes entrepreneurs qui au niveau local sont activement engagés dans la recherche-action comme un moyen de documenter et de partager des expériences pratiques de télécentres.

Le respect de la propriété intellectuelle, permettant ainsi aux membres de la communauté de construire sur les travaux des uns et des autres, et la traduction des résultats des recherches en action est importante.

-l’appui aux réseau

-la création des bibliothèques

*le projet Village Allo Oui

Le projet « Village ALLO – OUI » fonctionnera dans le modèle des audiothèques ou vidéothèques selon les cas. Le/les centre(s) d’appel sera/seront installe(s) dans des pôles a forte activité économique et culturelle comme le marche public, les zones commerciales, les pêcheries et aussi dans certaines stations de radio de proximité ou des télécentre qui auront à organiser des formations au bénéfice de la communauté bénéficiaire du projet. Ce dispositif conduira à étendre le projet sur la numérisation des villages par le réseau sans fil.

Le mécanisme de gestion de cette association de technologie numérique sera défini par les bénéficiaires.

Le projet « village ALLO – OUI » prendra également en compte la dimension de la problématique de la communication en milieu rural afin de jouer un rôle catalyseur dans l’amélioration des conditions d’existence des différents acteurs de la vie communautaire.

Le projet fera appel a l’expertise locale telle que les enseignants, les ingénieurs et moniteurs agricoles, les animateurs de développement communautaire aussi bien d’une certaine ingénierie dans la gestion du réseau, la maintenance des équipements, pour ne citer que ces quelques aspects.

Il est envisage un cycle de formation périodique aux différents acteurs pour leur mise à niveau selon l’évolution de la technologie.

En quoi le projet est-il innovant?

Les bénéficiaires, avec l’expertise de CAFEC, mettront en place un centre d’information collectif en connexion avec les radios et/ou télévisions de proximité. Ce centre abritera aussi une bibliothèque appropriée pour répondre aux besoins de la population bénéficiaire du projet. Les différents centres seront mis en réseaux.

A quels besoins répond-il ?

Ecoulement des produits agricoles, rapprochement avec les centres de sante, échange d’information au niveau local, national et, progressivement, au niveau mondial.

Quels sont les bénéficiaires potentiels ?

Producteurs agricoles, commerçants, les PME locaux et aussi les institutions scolaires de ces localités.
