gategate Summary

For the GTZ it appears of high importance to look at new and traditional ICTs likewise as a wide range of opportunities. For every social, cultural and financial niche the appropriate media, technology or activity needs to be identified.It has to be implemented and used in order to achieve the highest possible impact in the context of the overall goal of poverty reduction and the establishment of a human rights policy.


gategate Summary II

“Taking ICT to people doesn't necessarily mean that you need to put a computer into every village. What you actually need to take to is the information that can make a difference. ICT is not an end in itself, rather a tool that needs to be adapted for local use.”

Gaurab Raj Upadhaya, Radio Sagarmatha, Kathmandu, April 2002
