The need for accelerating the pace of ICT enabled interventions towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in the Indian context makes it imperative to look closely on their potential to cover over six lakhs villages in the country within a shorter span of time. One would require picking up the leaves out of these interventions that show us the potential for accelerated up scaling of these interventions. Moreover, an understanding of the key supporting requirements both at the macro policy level and mapping of demand and supply of services at the micro level (or community/individual level) would be critical to provide the necessary momentum for ICT4D initiatives in India.
Towards this end, OneWorld South Asia is seeking to initiate an online discussion over the next six weeks. The major themes identified are : Scalability, Sustainability and Collaboration. The sectoral focus within each of these themes would be on Education, Health and Livelihoods.
It is proposed that a summary of the discussions would be shared at two separate national workshops on technology and policy issues on the ICT4D initiatives. These workshops are tentatively scheduled to be held towards the end of June and early July 2004
This discussion list is jointly hosted by MS Swaminathan Research Foundation and
OneWorld South Asia
