It also reviews Vanuatu's existing ICT infrastructure developments, legal frameworks, and examples of ICT initiatives and their impacts in sectors like education, banking, and government services.
The document discusses investing in information and communication technologies (ICTs) in emerging markets. It notes that while emerging economies were less impacted by the global economic crisis, the ICT industry still faces challenges accessing capital and maintaining revenue growth. ICT spending represents a large percentage of global GDP. The document outlines trends in ICT investment in emerging markets, challenges to infrastructure development, and models for investing in underserved areas to promote further growth opportunities.
The document proposes a Technology Acquisition Fund (TAF) to help finance infrastructural development in developing nations. The TAF would collect tax-deductible contributions from major technology companies given the industry's significant growth. It estimates developing nations require $93-175 billion annually for infrastructure but only receive $40-83 billion currently. The TAF would identify viable development projects to fund using proceeds from technology product sales and services. Challenges include getting government adoption and regulations, matching funds to specific nations, and reluctance of tech companies to contribute.

The global digital divide and differences in internet access between developed and developing nations are examined. Current initiatives in India and Tamil Nadu to address the digital divide are
The document discusses the importance of the International Day for Universal Access to Information (IDUAI) for advancing open access and the global open knowledge movement. It notes that while information consumption is growing rapidly, significant knowledge challenges remain, including lack of access in many parts of the world. Promoting STEM education and open access to scientific information is crucial for achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. However, less than 30% of global research is currently openly available. The document argues that overcoming disparities in STEM education and access to information will require advocacy, capacity building, knowledge sharing platforms, and new approaches that prioritize openness and inclusion.
The document discusses the importance of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for youth development globally. It notes that while ICT access has benefited many youth, significant digital divides remain, particularly for those in developing countries where broadband access often costs over half of average monthly income. The United Nations and other organizations are working to promote universal and equitable ICT access for youth to foster social inclusion and bridge divides. Effective policies are needed to strengthen ICT infrastructure, incorporate technology into education, and ensure affordable connectivity for all youth worldwide.
Day 2 C2C - USAASA Engaging Africa's YouthMyles Freedman
Lumko Mtimde, CEO of USAASA, presented on engaging Africa's youth through digital opportunities. The presentation outlined USAASA's legislative mandate to promote universal access and service. It discussed national policies like the NDP, New Growth Path, and SIP 15 that aim to expand ICT infrastructure and access. The presentation noted youth face high unemployment and described how ICTs can create jobs in sectors like agriculture, health, and offshore services. It explained South Africa's SA Connect strategy to improve broadband accessibility and affordability. The presentation concluded by describing USAASA's initiatives to provide digital skills training and integrate ICTs in education to develop youth for employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in the digital economy.
The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to modern digital technologies between countries, communities, and socioeconomic groups. It notes that the divide exists between developed and developing nations as well as within countries based on factors like age, location, and income. Several initiatives and programs in India and Tamil Nadu aim to address obstacles to digital access and promote digital literacy to help bridge the divide. Case studies on efforts in Kenya, India, and regarding language highlight strategies to increase access to education and skills training during the pandemic.
Gender is an important issue in the context of information and communication technologies ICT . Studies show that ICT use is subject to gender bias, e.g. in relation to ICT use and interests. This contribution describes the current situation of gender and ICT professions. Based on an empirical study, it shows particular areas in ICT education that suffer from gender inequalities in both countries. Furthermore, the chapter elaborates how gender inequalities develop from secondary to professional ICT careers based on statistics. As a consequence of recession driven economic development, the information and communication technology sector has weakened in recent years in OECD countries. Still, an ICT growth of about 4 percent was observed in 2008. Although there was a decrease in 2009 due to the current financial crisis, a general upturn is expected in the long term because of constant development of the ICT services, software, products for Internet use and communication, and infrastructure. The ICT skills of the work force contribute to the growth the overall share of employees in ICT specialist occupations is 4 percent and increasing rapidly, and 20 percent of employment relates to occupations that use ICT extensively.Even though information and communication technology ICT is essential for everyday life and has gained considerable attention in education and other sectors, it also carries individual differences in its use and relevant skills. This systematic review aims to examine the gender differences in ICT use and skills for learning through technology. A comprehensive search of eight journal databases and a specific selection criterion was carried out to exclude articles that match our stated exclusion criteria. We included 42 peer reviewed empirical publications and conference proceedings published between 2006 and 2020. For a subsample of studies, we performed a small scale meta analysis to quantify possible gender differences in ICT use and skills. A random effects model uncovered a small and positive, yet not significant, effect size in favor of boys g = 0.17, 95 CI 0.01, 0.36 . However, this finding needs to be further backed by large scale meta analyses, including more study samples and a broader set of ICT use and skills measures. We highlight several concerns that should be addressed and more thoroughly in collaboration with one another to better IT skills and inspire new policies to increase the quality of ICT use.

The document discusses the digital divide, which refers to unequal access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) between individuals, households, businesses and nations. The digital divide exists due to differences in access to the internet, skills to use digital technologies, and ability to afford ICT services. Lower income households are much less likely to have internet access compared to higher income households. Reducing the digital divide requires improving access to affordable broadband, increasing digital literacy, and ensuring online content is relevant and accessible to underserved groups.
The document discusses the role of ICTs in promoting entrepreneurship in ACP countries. It outlines that ICTs have the potential to (1) open opportunities, support private sector development, and favor rural economic activities. However, constraints include lack of infrastructure, skills, and enabling policies. CTA works to encourage young entrepreneurs through competitions and support women's ICT initiatives. The way forward includes establishing enabling policies, improving access to affordable ICTs, and upscaling best practices to contribute to sustainable rural growth.

The document discusses financing frameworks and policies for hybrid learning. It recommends that financing frameworks for hybrid learning should be based on principles of putting learners and educators first, ensuring equitable access, and taking a holistic and comprehensive approach. It also provides an example from Nigeria, which is working to transform its education system as part of a broader digital transformation strategy, but faces challenges including limited connectivity, a digital divide, and lack of technology integration in schools.
This document summarizes a report on gender equality and empowerment of women through information and communication technologies (ICT). It discusses how ICT can promote development but the benefits have been uneven, with a "digital divide" between men and women in access to technology. While ICT could potentially exacerbate inequalities, addressing the gender gap in access and skills can empower women. The document reviews UN efforts since 1995 to promote women's participation in ICT and identifies strategies to close the gender divide.
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT Dr Lendy Spires
Gender equality and empowerment of women through ICT “The so-called digital divide is actually several gaps in one. There is a technological divide great gaps in infrastructure. There is a content divide. A lot of web-based information is simply not relevant to the real needs of people. And nearly 70 per cent of the world’s websites are in English, at times crowding out local voices and views.
There is a gender divide, with women and girls enjoying less access to information technology Introduction ICT and development The role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as a tool for development has attracted the sustained attention of the United Nations over recent years. Strategic partnerships have been developed with donors, the private sector and civil society, and working groups and task forces have been established to enhance inter-agency collaboration throughout the United Nations system. In 2000, the Economic and Social Council adopted a Ministerial Declaration on the role of information technology in the context of a knowledge-based economy.
In 2001, the Secretary-General established a high-level Information and Communication Technologies Task Force to provide overall leadership to the United Nations on the formulation of strategies to put ICT at the service of development.2 The Millennium Declaration adopted in 2000 underscored the urgency of ensuring that the benefits of new technologies, especially ICT, are made available to all. To achieve this goal, a United Nations World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) was planned in two phases. The first phase, the Geneva Summit in December 2003, aimed to develop political will and to establish the foundations for an Information Society for all.
In total, 175 Governments endorsed the Declaration of Principles3 and Plan of Action at the first phase.4 The second phase of WSIS is planned for November 2005 in Tunis. Information and Communication Technologies comprise a complex and heterogeneous set of goods, applications and services used to produce, process, distribute and transform information.

realized the role that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT’s) can play in socio-economic
development and India is no exception to this. Majority of Indian population resides in rural areas and their
isolation has restricted them from contributing to the national mainstream, adversely affecting the country’s
growth. Even after 60 years of independence, rural India has remained poor while the remaining country has
developed by leaps and bounds. Rural India is regarded information-poor and characterized by severe poverty,
illiteracy, lack of health services, lack of employment and overall backwardness. Only the proper
implementation of ICT’s can play a pivotal role in their overall development, especially in the sectors of health,
education and government services. To supplement ICT service delivery, Government of India has the National
IT Policy in place and is also on the verge of launching the massive Digital India programme. But this requires
dauntless will power & confidence, effective monitoring, local services & technology combined with lots of hard
work.
This document discusses the scope and potential of using information and communication technologies (ICTs) to improve service delivery in rural India. It outlines some of the key challenges, including lack of adequate infrastructure and broadband connectivity in rural areas. It then describes several sectors where ICTs could make a significant impact, such as education through e-learning tools, healthcare via telemedicine and online medical records, agriculture by providing farmers access to market data and best practices, and e-governance to improve access to government services. While India has made efforts such as the National IT Policy and Digital India program, fully realizing ICT's benefits will require addressing issues of affordability, relevance of content, capacity building, and public-private partnerships.

The document discusses the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) and multinational companies in achieving the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. It outlines the eight Millennium Goals, including eradicating poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, reducing child and maternal mortality, and developing global partnerships. Goal 8 specifically calls for making new technologies available to developing countries. The document argues that multinational companies can play an important role by investing in infrastructure, knowledge sharing, and partnerships with local actors. A new approach is needed that focuses on innovations to reduce inequality and brings together governments, NGOs, businesses, and local communities.
The document discusses literacy and digital skills in Cameroon in the context of COVID-19. It defines literacy and notes that over 750 million youth and adults globally cannot read or write. Literacy rates in Cameroon are outlined, showing adult illiteracy at over 3 million. Challenges to attaining literacy goals include limited connectivity and infrastructure for distance learning during COVID-19. The document advocates for diversified distance learning solutions and narrowing the digital divide. It analyzes Cameroon's readiness for literacy programs based on technology access data. Different learning modes are proposed to widen literacy access. Efforts by the Ministry of Basic Education to address these issues through online platforms and printed lessons are also described.
The document discusses ICT4D (Information and Communication Technologies for Development), including its definition, goals of development, and how ICT can contribute to development through information and communication. It outlines the evolution of ICT4D in three phases and discusses targets set by the World Summit on the Information Society. Examples of ICT4D projects are provided. The document also examines approaches to measuring ICT development and the digital divide between countries.

development;
• No framework law or regulation adapted to the telecommunications and
information technology sector.The only law in force dates from 1977;
• Lack of technological infrastructure. Haiti has only 8000km of fiber optics
for more than 27000km2;
• The lack of ambition and the lack of investment from the private sector
which is possibly related to the lack of local purchasing power.
Structural Challenges
9. • Curious and intelligent youth [In Haiti, 54 percent of the population is under
the age of 25, with 31 percent in the 10 to 24 age category. (UNICEF 2019)]
• The growing interest for the jobs related to the new technologies of
information and communication because of covid19 in particular;
• Innovative initiatives for the promotion of information technologies and
information systems such as HaitiTech Summit, Ayiti Analytics, BANJ,
ISOC Haiti,Transversal, HaitiCyberCon, ESIH, Nextep Communication
Communication etc.
Opportunities
10. • With political will and an ambitious vision Haiti can consider reforming the
national education system and adapting it to the needs of the time; with
the introduction of computer science as a basic course at all levels, subsidy
of school tablets and computers for students and national innovation
competitions to foster competitiveness and creativity.
• Information technology can be used for mass education to help Haiti catch
up on its development;
• Haiti can also make the choice to train his youth to grab opportunities of
remote work at the international level.
