>ICT Stories Competition 2003 - Tony Zeitoun Award
>
>If you have been working on a project that uses Information and
>Communication Technologies (ICTs) as a tool for advancing development,
>this is an opportunity for you to share your experiences with the world.
>
>In almost all projects up-to-date knowledge about Information and
>Communication Technologies (ICTs) is crucial, but resources and access
>to such knowledge are often limited. Moreover, in most projects there is
>neither time nor money to carefully compare the various options
>available. In such situations, the experiences of others facing the same
>problems become invaluable.
>
>Opportunities to learn from one's own experiences and to share the
>experiences with others are an important means to strengthen respective
>knowledge bases. Others find inspiration and can learn from those
>successes and mistakes, without having to start a new project from
>scratch, not knowing what others already know about the inherent risks
>and costs, as well as about possible approaches to manage them.
>
>Knowledge is generated throughout the entire course of a project. The
>ICT Stories objective is to capture in exemplary stories the learning
>process that accompanies the introduction and implementation of ICTs in
>a development project. Most Stories applicants have had to struggle to
>go through hurdles and a lot of ups and downs for their projects to
>happen, and their stories become vehicles to share such knowledge. These
>stories describe good practices and lessons learned from contributors'
>experiences.
>
>Enter the competition to win.
>
>Based on a set of criteria three winning stories will be selected by a
>renowned jury. The writers of these stories will be given the
>opportunity to travel to Switzerland to present their findings at the
>ICT4D platform at the WSIS.
>
>Please visit http://www.iicd.org/stories/ for more information and the
>submission form. The deadline for submissions is September 26, 2003.
