Second group 

2. (non IDRC funding) To further explore MISTICA’s capacities for regional networking, dissemination of valuable information and consolidation of strategic alliances that strengthen the south-south cooperation required to build a vision, from the South perspective, of the role of ICT for development and social progress.
  • 2.1 To feed exhaustively and maintain the MISTICA clearinghouse of the social impacts of ICTs in LA&C.
  • 2.2 To pursue and enhance the experimentation of the methodologies EMEC and PAD for virtual communities, which bring solutions to information overload, provide with a multilingual environment, and bridge face to face meetings with on-line virtual communities.
  • 2.3 To extend MISTICA’s virtual community in the Caribbean region.
  • 2.4 To launch an adapted version of the MISTICA project in Africa.
  • 2.5 To identify and establish strategic alliances with different CSOs in the region, in particular those organizations that, even if they are not ICT-related, have developed a strong incidence in public policy scenarios.
  • 2.6 To identify and establish strategic alliances with different CSOs in the South in order to build up, in a participatory manner, alternative visions that from the South perspective, speak of the role of ICT for development and social progress while articulate proactive nodes capable of affecting ICT policies at the global level.
