>(...) "The Road Ahead
>Whereas there exists an overwhelming evidence of the current gap in access
>to opportunity between and among countries it should not be cause for
>inaction. The promise of the new technology is indeed the tremendous
>opportunity inherent in it � the opportunity that developing nations can
>leap frog development and provide millions with higher standards of living
>and greater empowerment.
>
>Key imperatives for governments which emanate from the Access Model include:
>
>Governments Need to Adopt Access-for-Opportunity as a Policy Goal:
>Governments must specifically identify and address issues of real access �
>utilizing the Access Model put forth herein � rather than on issues of
>technology. The end goal should be Access for- Opportunity, rather than
>solely access to ICT. In this context the governments need to develop and
>formally adopt E-government Plans and/or similar national ICT Plans that
>include access goals, economic development objectives, and long term goals
>to achieve a knowledge economy/society.
>
>Governments Need to Focus on Knowledge Societies: Governments need to
>re-think and reengineer their development strategies towards building
>knowledge societies. A renewed commitment is needed to put ICTs within an
>integrated development framework to leapfrog the traditional long
>gestation phases of development and yield rapid economic and social
>progress for all.
>
>Governments Need to Include ICTs in All Planning Initiatives: To improve
>Access-for- Opportunity countries must recognize the centrality of ICTs,
>and include the
>concept into all development planning and encourage the use of ICTs by
>making more services available through their e-government initiatives. The
>governments need to include ICT planning across all government sectors,
>particularly public education, public health, economic development,
>commerce and industry, law enforcement and security, and others � this
>integrated planning will lead to real EGovernment and ICT for development.
>E-government and ICT goals should be clearly articulated in terms of
>economic development and quality of life enhancements for all members of
>society.
>
>Furthermore, the governments must follow adoption of high level
>E-Government and ICT policies with the development of comprehensive
>regulatory and legal frameworks that directly support ICT for development;
>key areas include ecommerce, anti-cyber-crime enforcement, digital
>contracts, online intellectual property and copyright protection,
>approaches to internet taxation and fees, adoption of international online
>standards, and other key areas.
>Governments must integrate new technology tools and the culture of
>technology into public education strategies and curricula at all levels.
>Developing nations lacking physical ICT infrastructure available to rural
>and semi-rural areas should develop and
>implement plans for wireless and other less resource intensive
>technologies; these governments should work closely with the private
>sector to establish virtualinfrastructure that will provide access
>opportunities to disconnected groups and individuals.
>
>In addition, the governments need to educate the upcoming ranks of
>government leaders, managers and administrators in planning and managing
>ICTs across all public sectors, focusing on access opportunity, economic
>development, and effective delivery of public information and services.
>National governments also need to encourage government agencies,
>businesses, their citizens and all of civil society to fully embrace the
>emerging global language and culture of technology while simultaneously
>facilitating the creation of quality local digital content and online
>services for the spread of development opportunities for all.
