33 PRESENTATION FOR INTERNAL MEETING OF UNDESA - UNESCAP Roundtable on Governance and Uses of ICT for Reaching the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) co-organized by the Division for Public Administration and Development Management (DPADM) in the United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) (United Nations Headquarters, New York) and the Information and Communications Technology and Disaster Risk Reduction Division (IDD) in the United nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) (Bangkok, Thailand) Bangkok, Thailand, 9-10 December 2009
34 INTRODUCTION Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) have proven to be important avenues to foster development worldwide over the last 30 years. ICT result in faster innovation and greater capacity to find viable solutions for development needs and challenges. The increased and more comprehensive use of ICT is indispensable for successfully achieving the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Many countries in different regions of the World have yet not fully perceived the opportunities from fostering uses of ICT to advance towards the MDGs, and often find large challenges in this respect. Yet, successful experiences are cumulating rapidly around the World. Sharing them can help foster development in the Information Age.
35 This is why the Division for Public Administration and Development Management (DPADM), in the UN Department for Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) is building a Knowledge Base on Public Administration and Development Management, including a section on Uses of ICT for Development, to be made publicly available online. The design of this particular section of the Knowledge Base is of outmost importance To populate this Knowledge Base with relevant and updated contents, DPADM seeks to cooperate with networks of practitioners, experts, public officials and researchers, from the public and private sectors and from civil society, from diverse countries in different regions around the World. To activate cooperation with regional networks, aiming at the construction of this Knowledge Base, a series of 5 similar meetings has been programmed by DPADM to take place in Africa, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific, Europe and the Middle East and North Africa. Because of its capacity in the field of ICT for Development and its strategic relationship with countries in the region, UNESCAP is highly valued as a strategic and attractive partner
36 The conclusions from the 5 regional meetings will then be presented: in the UN Headquarters at a final integrative meeting, to high level authorities and leaders, as a contribution to the UN intergovernmental and normative process, looking forward to further promote uses of ICT for development; and in the 2010 meeting of the Global Alliance for ICT and Development (GAID), supported by UNDESA. The Knowledge Base will also be presented at: the annual meeting of the UN Committee of Experts on Public Administration in March 2010; and the World Summit on the MDGs, in September In case UNESCAP decides to join efforts with UNDESA for the organization of the meeting and the subsequent animation of regional networks to help populate the Knowledge Base, it will be very useful if UNESCAP also participates in these other events.
