If you're looking for organisations within the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region that use information and communication technologies (ICT) for social, political, academic and economic development, look no further. The GKP-LAC Directory aims to facilitate collaboration among like-minded organisations by providing you key information on these organisations.
This site is sponsored by the Global Knowledge Partnership (GKP), the first global multi-stakeholder network committed to harnessing the potential of ICT for sustainable and equitable development. Within the GKP framework, governments, private sector companies, civil society groups, donor agencies, academia, media and inter-governmental organisations come together as members to share knowledge and to build partnerships.
Access to information and knowledge is essential if the disadvantaged, the marginalised, and the poor are to improve their lives and the lives of their children. The GKP believes that given the opportunities to access and use ICT, people can improve their economic well-being and empower themselves and their communities to participate in and be responsible for their own development. We also believe that mutual prosperity gained through effective use of information and knowledge would contribute to a more stable and equitable world.
Sincerely,
