Inaugural Meeting of the Global Alliance for ICT and Development
Kuala Lumpur, 19-20 June 2006

Workshops

The workshops aim to stimulate discussion among the participants on innovative ICT policies and applications to accelerate the pace of the achievement of the MDGs. It is hoped that the workshops would serve as a good learning opportunity for government officials responsible for development issues and not only ICTs, as well as an eye-opener for experienced practitioners.
