The mission of Digital Opportunity Channel is to educate a global audience on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) as a tool for promoting digital opportunity for all, leading to sustainable development and better quality of life. The channel sees itself serving as a tool for organisations and individuals working in ICT and digital divide efforts.
ICTs can be powerful instruments of social change, helping developing economies and communities everywhere, especially to leapfrog development obstacles. Digital Opportunity Channel seeks to be the online forum that will best inform governments, businesses and civil society stakeholders about this process.
