Funredes: The hurdle track from ICT to Human Development
Results from a project for UN-GAID.
ICTs are but a tool. But there are some barriers to them:
- Physical access
- Financial access, affordability
- Sustainability
- Functional basic literacy (read and write)
- Content in local language
- Effective usage
- Technology appropriation, technological literacy
- Use with sense, informational literacy
- Social appropriation, content creation with sense for my community
- Empowerment
- Human Development
Needs:
- Education and culture: about networking, about information, about processes
- Ethics: about networking, about information, about processes
- Engagement, multistakeholder, committed, along the whole process
