 General Objective

OLISTICA’s general objective is the strengthening of social actors in the LA&C region in order to consolidate an action-research human network capable of conducting research about the incidence of ICTs in their local contexts. With a social mandate in mind, these social groups will better appropriate these ICT tools in order to actively effect changes in the political and social scenarios at their respective national and regional levels.
 


Specific Objectives

OLISTICA has a double set of objectives:

  • The first groupcorresponding to this proposal submitted to IDRC, will constitute, as a participatory action-research network, the observatory in action of social impacts of ICTs in Latin America and the Caribbean.

  • The second groupto be funded by an external source (tentatively the European Commission), further feeds, maintains, explores and extends MISTICA’s original work.

It is important to mention that both sets of objectives are designed to work as complementing each other but none is prerequisite to the other one.
