Description: The objective of this Associate Award is to pilot new configurations of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in order to strengthen and increase the impact of Community Internet Centers (CICs) and other points of access to the Internet in under-served areas of developing countries, particularly for USAID target populations.
Significant success has been experienced in establishing sustainable CICs; the challenge for dot-ORG in this associate Award will be to launch a new generation of ICT configurations for CICs and Internet access points, which broaden the range and impact of services, offered and increase the number and quality of employment opportunities.
In addition, this Associate Award will enable the dot-ORG project to collaborate with USAID, host country governments, non-governmental organizations and dot-ORG resource partners on technical assistance activities that will be identified as this project is implemented, to promote the adoption of improvements at such centers and Internet access points within its programs worldwide. It is expected that the Award will require three years for implementation.

EGAT/EIT/IT (dot-GOV Leader Award) |
6/1/2002 - 10/31/2002 |
| Description: The IRIS Center gathered a group of leading e-commerce experts to create a diagnostic tool for policymakers to use to determine how their e-commerce policy frameworks practically compare to other countries of comparable development. Factors such as women’s access to ICTs are part of the data considered when calculating the “comparator" countries from a variety of data sources. This CD-ROM and Power Point based tool will help policymakers move from "paper to projects," by identifying a series of processes that can be used to strengthen e-commerce activity in their country. The diagnostic tool has been presented a number of times and favorably received. |
