<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regarding this particular point on - <u>Capacity Building. Focus on institutional capacity (governments, civil society organizations, rather than on individual capacity</u>):</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Generally-speaking, this would be a good strategy since IMHO institutional capacity building aims toward a long term level. If governments can plan effectively, they can provide mechanisms for long-term partnerships or networking within their regions. For instance, I am aware that in the Philippines, CICT (Commission on Information and Communications Technology) have "collaborated" with ASTI (Advances Science and Technology Institute of the Phil.Department of Science and Technology), ISOC PH, and PREGINET (National Research Education Network of the Philippines) <em>Pilipinas (is the Filipino word for "Philippines")</em>. During last year's IGF 2010, there was a regional IGF talk simultaneously during the IGF that PREGINET streamed. There were supporting elements during the IGF so even in the next events all related to IG issues, there is already a mechanism of a long term networking. </div>
