The biennial Digital Review of Asia Pacific is a comprehensive guide to the state-of-practice and trends in information and communication technologies for development (ICTD) in Asia Pacific, and will be launched on June 11th.
This fourth edition (2009–2010) features 30 economies and four sub-regional groupings.
Ce nouveau projet repousse les frontières de la recherche dans le domaine des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) pour le développement. Il va bien au delà des télécommunications et intègre de façon thématique les multiples aspects des TIC qui se prêtent à la formulation des politiques, à leur mise en oeuvre et à leur suivi.
Much remains to be learned or understood better as the diffusion of ICTs continues to expand, technologies continue to evolve and numerous applications proliferate. Throughout, good research needs solid quantitative evidence, which is by itself part of the sought-after body of knowledge.
Contrary to
what might be expected, gender patterns in Internet use do not vary
equally with Internet penetration, or improvement of a country’s Infostate.
Women’s rate of Internet access and use will not automatically rise
with national rates of Internet penetration. A range of socioeconomic
and political factors affect and frame the gender divide, including
social and cultural barriers to technology use; education and skill
levels; employment and income trends; media and content; privacy and
security and location/mode of access.
The Digital Review of Asia Pacific (DirAP) has the mission of generating new descriptive, analytical and predictive knowledge about the fi eld of ICT for development in the Asia Pacific region. It attempts to provide in-depth analyzes and syntheses of ICT policy, developments and applications, and issues and debates concerning the significance of policy and technology enabling environments for national and regional socio-economic development. DirAP targets both regional and global audiences, especially decision and policymakers and practitioners from both government and NGOs.
Cette publication est le fruit d'une collaboration mondiale donnant directement suite au Plan d'action du Sommet mondial sur la société de l'information (SMSI, Genève, 2003), qui prévoyait l'élaboration et la mise en oeuvre d'un" index de développement composite des TIC ». Elle fournit à la communauté internationale un instrument de mesure des plus précieux, assorti de plusieurs analyses approfondies.
