United Nations Solution Exchange Partnership
ICT for Development Community of Practice (ICTD-CoP)
This proposal seeks to work over the next year or so with the United Nations Solution Exchange ICT for Development Community of Practice. The proponents of the Action Group include – Centre for Science, Development and Media Studies (CSDMS) (www.csdms.in) , Global e- Schools and Communities Initiative (GeSCI) (www.gesci.org) and Ministry of human resources development (MHRD). The proposal seeks to define a national consultation process combining online thematic conference/e-discussion clubbed with several regional consultations on issues that have to be collated towards providing a consultative and participatory policy development process.
The ICTD CoP collaboration aims to bring together the expertise of over 1400 members of the community which brings together multi-stakeholders within the ICT for education sub-domain and beyond. This would add value to the process of consultation.
The current maturity of the facilitation and expertise gathering role that SE-ICTD group has played makes this a timely opportunity for the process, already initiated since the past 18 months or so to a logical crystallisation stage for the policy formulation process. This proposal seeks to obtain the buy-in of the ICTD community, and active participation and identification of regional/state level champions to further the consultations to the length and breadth of this country.
