The document discusses the role and impact of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in development. It notes that ICTs have transformed the modern globalized world and helped connect societies in a "global village." When deployed wisely, ICTs can help improve services, transparency, and outcomes in sectors like health, education, and poverty reduction. Mobile technologies in particular have facilitated new economic opportunities and services. However, ICTs also enable some risks like the spread of misinformation and cybercrime, so their development and impacts are complex with both benefits and challenges.

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.
As in the real world, the digital economy has also thrown up its share of shifting buzzwords. From ‘e-Commerce’ and ‘dot.com’ at the turn of the century, the last couple of years have thrown up ‘ICT’ as the all encompassing technology and for business the newest buzz is undoubtedly ‘outsourcing’. Rarely has a single trend impacted global business and industry these last few years as much as outsourcing or ‘off-shoring’ as it is referred to in the US. Coming along with the compulsions of globalisation mandated by the WTO agreements it has helped develop new markets, improved bottom lines, expanded the range of goods and services and pulled the planet together into a tighter-knit community. This opportunity of outsourcing from the perspective of developing economies is ICT services export.
Information and communications
technologies (ICTs) are different tools
and technologies to transmit information
and communicate with the community
(one to one or in groups). Through the
use of computers and interconnected
networks it provides a feasible and
accurate platform to increase the mobility
of information for different issues and
exchange of knowledge.
e-Governance Implementation In Ebonyi State Nigeria: Challenges and ProspectsEditor IJCATR
The deployment of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in different facets of the world’s economy has yielded very reasonable results. ICT has blured the barriers of hinderances in tourism, trade, healthcare, education and training. In governance and administration, ICT applications have enhanced the delivery of public services to citizens and clients not only by improving the process and management of government, but also by redefining the traditional concepts of citizenship. This paper examined the challenges facing the implementation of e-Governance in Ebonyi State – Nigeria and highlights the prospects. The research used a primary source of data by distributing, collecting and analysing a total of 500 questionnaires administered to respondents in the research area (Ebonyi State). The research found that the most difficult challenges facing the deployment of e-governance in Ebonyi State were lack of steady power supply, poor communication infrastructure and high cost of computer and internet equipments. The survey also revealed that the use of e-governance would bring improved efficiency in government operations without necessarily increasing the cost of state governance. e-Governance would strengthen democratic principles and ideologies which inturn brings good governance to the people.

Embarking on a journey into the global knowledge economy Mohamed Bouanane
Current trends, whilst important to observe, by no means define a universal destiny for all countries. It is evident from the benchmark study that the information society is on the tipping-point – knowledge is becoming as ubiquitous as data and information has become today. It is unsafe to follow an existing policy, even good policy, because there is no universal destiny for all countries; rather build a unified and convergent strategy that takes into account the country’s own strengthens and weaknesses and seeks to exploit the synergistic combinatorial effects of many sectors working together in harmony to achieve growth and well-being for all citizens. Though far from a universal destination for all countries; the zenith of current holistic thinking is best portrayed by South Korea, it represents the ultimate target to emulate (not to copy) and exceed.
Most countries are seeking to position themselves in the predicted future global knowledge economy. Are they going about it the (same) right way? Are they all trying to win the same race? If so surely the majority of countries will be disappointed since only few countries will be in the top of ranking.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Introduction of ICT
1.
2. The new Information and
Communication Technologies
(ICTs) have been a driving force
of the globalized world in which
we find ourselves today.
Do ICTs have a role in helping to
turn the global situation
around?
3. Internationally, the spread and
appropriation of ICTs is a key
globalization driver and knowledge
carrier. In these circumstances,
societies need to build
communications systems and manage
them well, develop infrastructure and
the capacity to use it, and implement
good policy and regulation. In the
right environments, both business and
non-profit enterprise are effective in
rapidly expanding
4. Marshall McLuhan
coined the term ‘global
village’ in 1962, was
referring to the removal of
space and time barriers in
human communication as a
result of the communication
revolution taking place.
Today, we are living in a
global village in every sense
of the term.
5. The use of ICTs assist in sharing
information more effectively and
delivering better services to the
public. Wisely deployed, ‘ICTs, can
potentially impact almost every
sector, making development
budgets, private sector and
commitments from development
partners go further in terms of cost
effectiveness, impact and reach’
(UNDP 2005,p. 1).
6. ICTs help to increase
transparency and
accountability and
decrease corruption. They
promote economic growth
by improving the interface
with business and
empowering citizens to
participate in advancing
good governance.
7. ICTs also help to accelerate
the pace of sustainable
human development and to
increase the effectiveness of
new and more responsive
solutions in the fields of
health, education and related
MDG focus areas’ (UNDP
2005, p. 1).
8. There’s a belief that ICT
potentially has the
capacity towards the
improvement of
many different
aspects of life, from
alleviating poverty to
strengthening the
democratic polity.
9. A belief that ICT will
deliver its potential benefit
on specific developmental
aims, such as enhancement
of livelihoods in rural areas
(Duncombe and Heeks 2002),
or improved government
services (Krishna and
Walsham 2005)
The Role of ICT and Development
10. Perspective
• The progressive perspective considers ICT as
enabling transformations in multiple domains of
human activities, but they can be accommodated
within the existing international and local social
order.
• The disruptive perspective is premised on the highly
political and controversial nature of development,
both as a concept and as an area of policy for
international and local action, and reveal conflicts of
interest and struggles of power as a necessary part of
IS innovation in developing countries
11. Communication and networking
enabled by information and
communication technologies (ICTs)
are proving to be economically,
socially, and politically
transformative over time. For
example, in both poor and wealthy
countries, mobile phone use has
been skyrocketing and facilitating the
expansion of markets, social
business, and public services.
12. In fact, an entire range of
economic services, enabled by
mobile phones, has begun to
emerge: micro finance and
insurance, marketing and
distribution (for example,
farmers and fishermen
connecting with markets,
reduced distribution margins,
and buyer control
13. Personal services, and public
services (such as telehealth and
distance education) and beyond
the economic impacts,
improvements are being made in
other freedoms or dimensions of
well-being — personal security,
political participation and
accountability, social peace,
dignity, and opportunity
14. In the right environments, both
business and non-profit
enterprise are effective in rapidly
expanding connectivity, using
low-margin, high-volume
business models. Affordable
mobile Internet — smart phones
and data services — exists today
in wealthier societies and could
be near universal in the next
generation.
15. These developments are
important, where they are
thriving. But we should not forget
the negative aspects and
possibilities of communications-
based transformation, such as
mobile phones being used to fan
violence, cybercrime and
terrorism, and our vulnerability to
disruption of communication.

18. • Information is central resource for all activities
• In pursuing the democratic/political
processing in managing resources, executing
functions, measuring performance, and in
service delivery, information is the basic
ingredient (Isaac-Hency 1997:132)
Source:Ginandjar Kartasasmita. (2013)
19. The Role of Internet
• Internet is a network or networks of one to
one, one to many, many to many, and many to
one, local, national and global information
and communication technologies with
relatively open standards, and protocols and
comparatively low barriers to entry.
Source:Ginandjar Kartasasmita. (2013)
20. Opportunities and Risk
• Management in the public sector is being
altered and maybe altered even more
fundamentally in the future by rapid advances
in technology in particular, information,
communications technology (ICT)
Source:Ginandjar Kartasasmita. (2013)
21. The information age has been driven and
dominated by technopreneurs — a small army
of ‘geeks’ who have reshaped our world faster
than any political leader has ever done…. We
now have to apply these technologies for
saving lives, improving livelihoods and lifting
millions of people out of squalor, misery and
suffering. In short, the time has come to move
our focus from the geeks to the meek.
(Sir Arthur C.
Clarke)
22. Kenichi Ohmae’s (1990)
metaphor of a ‘Borderless
World’ and Thomas
Friedman’s (2005) concept of a
‘Flat World’ might sound a
bit stale to some. But in the
current global crisis, one could
argue to the contrary — that
they are absolutely right.
23. Moreover, Servaes’s
(2000) view that
strengthening the
educational sector through
the use of technology is a
necessary precondition to
meeting the challenges of a
global world seems to ring
more true today than it did
at the beginning of the
millennium.
24. In its 2001 Global Technology Index,
the Philippines slipped from its 1999 ranking
of 32 and 38 out of 49 attributed “mainly to
the decline of the number of computers per
capita, weak deployment of cellular access
and small population of internet users.”
ICTs in the Philippines
25. ICTs in the Philippines
• In 2002, the Philippines ranked 76th out of the 165
countries indexed by ICT diffusion 22 in a 2004
study conducted by UNCTAD. This is an outstanding
improvement from its rank of 126th in 1995, but it is
worthy to note that the Philippines has held its 2002
ranking since 1999.
26. • In 2003-2004 a new type of public sphere
more participatory and intentional’, we have
seen ICTs completely transform our lives,
including the way politics and governance are
played out. This started in Asia with the now
famous ‘coup de text’ in the Philippines
28. Measuring Competitiveness
For more than three decades, the World
Economic Forum’s annual Global
Competitiveness Reports have studied and
benchmarked the many factors underpinning
national competitiveness.
29. Many determinants drive productivity and
competitiveness. Understanding the factors
behind this process has occupied the minds of
economists for hundreds of years,
engendering theories ranging from Adam
Smith’s focus on specialization and the
division of labor to neoclassical economists’
emphasis on investment in physical capital
and infrastructure..
30. More recently, to interest in other
mechanisms such as education and training,
technological progress, macroeconomic
stability, good governance, firm sophistication,
and market efficiency, among others. While all
of these factors are likely to be important for
competitiveness and growth, they are not
mutually exclusive—two or more of them can
be significant at the same time, and in fact
that is what has been shown in the economic
literature.
