With the launch of the Global Alliance for ICT and
Development, the international community has taken
that consensus a crucial step further. The Alliance is
well placed to promote the use of ICT in fighting
poverty, illiteracy and disease, in protecting the
environment and empowering women and girls.
It is important that you work as a true partnership of
all essential stakeholders – Governments, civil society,
the private sector, academia and others. All of you are
needed if we are to succeed.”
