Three Challenges

1. REAFFIRM the power of “older” ICTs----- radio, television and playback technologies

Computers and internet maybe “sexier” but these are NOT always the most appropriate!

2. FOCUS as much on the “soft” side of the ICTs as the ‘hard’ side.

- Capability building, content development, community building

LOGO

Three Challenges

3. INTEGRATE efforts- vertically and horizontally ---in ICT Integration

• Learn to learn from each other• Start building a “community of practice”• Break the endless cycle of pilots and • Start thinking about how we can go to scale
