[governance] CSTD Q8- Inclusiveness and participation

[Charity Gamboa]

Hi all,

Regarding this particular point on -  *Capacity Building. Focus on
institutional capacity (governments, civil society organizations, rather
than on individual capacity*):

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) *Pilipinas (is the
Filipino word for "Philippines")*. 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.

Regards,
Charity
