>"Up-scaling Pro-Poor ICT Policies and Practices: a Review of Experience
>with Emphasis on Low Income Countries in Asia and Africa"
> Abstract:
>ICTs can make a difference in reducing poverty and reaching the
>Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Practical experience, as well as
>lessons learned around the globe, demonstrates the great potential for
>ICTs to enhance empowerment, opportunity and security. This potential
>contrasts, however, with the relatively modest pro-poor ICT
>implementation level. Why this gap between potential and achievements
>in the ICT contribution towards reaching the MDGs? What key barriers
>impede the implementation of declarations? How can we multiply, upscale
>and replicate successful pilot projects? The study on Up-scaling
>Pro-Poor ICT-Policies and Practices, a joint publication by the MS
>Swaminathan Research Foundation (MSSRF), India, and the Swiss Agency
>for Development and Cooperation (SDC) provides answers to such
>pertinent questions. A draft of this paper served as background for an
>expert meeting in Chennai that produced the Chennai Statement,
>released in January 2005. The study and the statement contribute to a
>multi-dimensional poverty reduction agenda for the implementation of
>the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Principles and
>Action Plan, to be closely linked to of the Millennium Development
>Goals (MDGs). The final study report was released on February 18, 2005,
>on the occasion of a panel discussion Promoting WSIS � MDG Synergies
>hosted jointly by MSSRF, SDC and the Global Knowledge Partnership
>(GKP), and held as a side event of WSIS Prepcom II in Geneva
>(Switzerland). The publication can be downloaded here or hard copies
>are available free of charge from [email protected].
