[governance] ICT4D resources

[Michael Gurstein]

David, 

Further to what Anriette has said could I suggest that you look to sub-divide the project... India alone could well occupy you for your entire effort and there are significant initiatives underway in virtually all of the countries in all parts of Asia... For India, (and South Asia) a hugely valuable resource is the bytesforall email list <bytesforall at yahoogroups.com> ... 

To get into the details on a country by country basis may require access to local languages but I can give you some names off-list that could help in some of the specific countries...

Hi David (replying onlist - apologies to those not interested, but other might have good suggestions)

Your friend should take a good look at all the existing resources on this. Of course Asia is huge and diverse, but there are many resources available already.

He can start by looking at:

http://www.apdip.net/ - sadly UNDP discontinued this but the site still has valuable information http://southasia.oneworld.net/ http://www.idrc.ca/panasia/ http://www.itforchange.net/ http://www.i4donline.ne http://defindia.net/ http://www.apc.org/en/home/all/asiapacific
http://www.globalknowledgepartnership.org/index.cfm

But there is probably a lot more information out there. 

We would be interested to know more about this initiative.

Best

Anriette
