L'Alliance mondiale des Nations Unies pour les technologies de l'information et des communications (TIC) au service du développement a lancé aujourd'hui le site Internet (http://un-gaid.org/fr/gfyouth) du Forum sur la jeunesse et les TIC au service du développement, qui doit se tenir du 24 au 26 septembre à Genève, en Suisse.

In most developing countries, the access to education on all levels is limited while the quality of education is generally poor. Open and distance teaching and learning (ODL) methodologies, blending and integrating traditional distance education technologies with consolidated information and communication technologies (ICT) can play a substantial role in stepping up the quantity and quality of education provision in these countries, particularly in Africa. These opportunities are not yet fully, if at all, exploited in any level of most national education systems.

The world has recognized over the last decade that technology influences learning. More and more governments are investing in educational reform or "transformation" through connected schools and connected communities as a way to join the global economy with knowledge workers who have 21st century skills and are inspired by life-long learning.

The community of expertise will share experience and practice-led expertise around two main themes: first, concerning issues of distance learning implementation (contexts, learners and technologies), and second, on how mobile learning technologies can be integrated into the e-learning environment and help to address emerging issues including digital exclusion, student learning and support in different parts of the world.

Scientific and technical (S&T) data constitute an important resource for innovation and support in all four of the focus areas listed above, and more generally for the social and economic development in the information society. As discussed below, we focus our attention on "governance", specifically on the policy and practice associated with the open access to and preservation of governmental or publicly-funded S&T data.

Achieve Universal Primary Education is one of the main development objectives. The Dakar Framework of Action for Education for All (EFA), adopted in 2000 as a roadmap to meet the Education for All goals by 2015, highlights the role that Information and communication technologies (ICT) has to support EFA goals at an affordable cost. ICTs have great potential for knowledge dissemination, effective learning and the development of more efficient education services.

The United Nations met the Silicon Valley to explore how technology and industry can bolster development. Prominent members of industry, academia, and the venture capital community took the stage alongside members of the Strategy Council of the Global Alliance for ICT and Development to discuss the partnership between the public and private sectors in the field of ICT and development.
