GKP is pleased to announce the 2nd GKP International Forum on Cross-Sector Partnerships on "", to be held in Colombo, Sri Lanka from 8-9 May 2006. More than 200 leaders from Business, Civil Society, Government, International Organisations and Academia will convene at the Forum to both share innovations in ICT for development (ICT4D) and explore new innovative partnership-based initiatives using information and communications technologies (ICT) to create prosperity.
Nearly 3 billion people on our planet live on less than $2 per day. Their hardship is not only economic; it often translates into a lack of education, unsafe drinking water and other unsanitary conditions, limited healthcare, and inadequate housing. The theme of this year's GKP International Forum, "Creating Prosperity through Innovation: ICT at Work in Development " refers to the multitude of novel ways ICT are being applied to improve this human condition.
The Programme and Registration information will be available on 1 March 2006 at the website http://www.globalknowledge.org/internationalforum/. For enquiries, please email
