18.03.2005 This paper argues for the key role that information and communication technologies (ICTs) can play in reducing poverty, and enhancing empowerment, opportunity, and security; this potential is despite the fact that ICTs have had a relatively small impact on realising the MDGs so far. Improving access to ICTs will have knock-on effects for further reducing access barriers, improve productive competitiveness, and overall help to meet PRS goals. Improving access should be mainstreamed into the implementation of sectoral components, complementing the poverty-reducing priorities of the national ICT strategy. Targeted pro-poor regulations and policies are key.

07.02.2005 Sul controllo dell’informazione imposto dal sistema dominante si è tenuto un dibattito a Porto Alegre a cui hanno partecipato tra gli altri Giulietto Chiesa e Ignacio Ramonet. Gli interventi della maggior parte dei partecipanti concordava sul fatto che la privatizzazione dei mezzi di comunicazione non garantisce il pluralismo dell’informazione. Su questo tema si è discusso anche all’interno della campagna Cris che si sta mobilitando verso il vertice Onu (Wsis) che si terrà a novembre in Tunisia. Da molte organizzazioni tunisine arrivano denuncie di limitazione della libertà di espressione e per questo rimangono contrarie a mantenere la sede del vertice in Tunisia che comunque sarà un occasione per sollevare il problema a livello internazionale.
