Information and communication
technologies (ICT) policy decisions affect anyone
who wants to take advantage of the opportunities that
new technologies can offer. Will the national policy
favour technology that is state-of-the art but not
affordable in rural areas? Will your government provide
service subsidies to poor or disabled people? Will
your government encourage the development of software
that illiterate people can use? All of these are pressing
questions whose answers depend on the ICT policy choices
made by governments and other official decision-makers.
The APC Monitor has collected
resources that help civil society organisations and
others understand policy and regulation related to
ICT so that you can begin to engage and influence
policy processes affecting ICT adoption and implementation
at national, regional and global levels. Many of the
resources are also produced by APC.
