The UN DESA GAID LAC Network will be the Latin American and Caribbean focal point for the Global Alliance for ICT and Development. The Network will take stock of the current situation in the ICT for Development field in the Region, establish links among stakeholders, help them to coordinate and meet, and identify key areas in order to create an action-oriented agenda. Our objective is to bring together people and organizations from throughout the Region to promote intra and inter-regional collaboration among interested stakeholders.

Mission

The mission of the Global Alliance is to promote ICTs as a tool for development as stated in the Millennium Development Goals (#8) and the World Summit on the Information Society (Tunis Agenda).
