Poject page: http://projects.takingitglobal.org/wsisnepal
WSIS Youth Nepal is a division of WSIS Youth Caucus. It is an initiative of youth in Nepal, created to network youth, professionals, academia, governmental and non-governmental organizations, and other groups interested in youth and ICTs in Nepal.
WSIS Youth Nepal Vision:
To ensure equal access to ICTs in Nepal
WSIS Youth Nepal Mission:
WSIS Youth Nepal will provide a national forum for ICT organizations to influence ICT policies and to promote ICTs in Nepal for youth
WSIS Youth Nepal Objectives:
According to the ITU circular to Member States, Geneva, 26 March 2004:
“ The WSIS Action Plan includes specific targets to be achieved by 2015 for improving connectivity and access of ICTs:
These are:
• Connecting villages with ICTs and establish community access points
• Connecting universities, colleges, secondary schools and primary schools with ICTs
• Connecting scientific and research centres with ICTs
• Connecting public libraries, cultural centres, museums, post offices and archives with ICTs
• Connecting health centres and hospitals with ICTs
• Connecting all local and central government departments and establish websites and email addresses
• Adapting all primary and secondary school curricula to meet the challenges of the Information Society, taking into account national circumstances
• Ensuring that all of the world's population have access to television and radio services
• Encouraging the development of content and to put in place technical conditions in order to facilitate the presence and use of all world languages on the Internet
• Ensuring that more than half the world’s inhabitants have access to ICTs within their reach “
WSIS Youth Nepal aims to achieve these objectives by:
• Creating a national platform where all interested parties can share their ideas, knowledge and experience concerning ICT projects and policies.
• Representing youth in Nepal in the creation of national ICT policies and strategies.
• Monitoring and evaluating of current ICT projects will also be implemented by this group.
• Providing guidance and direction for future ICT projects
• Providing ICT awareness and advocacy to the general public
• Publishing an annual evaluation report on the nationwide ICT situation
Why ICT
ICTs (Information & Communication Technologies) are an engine for growth & key of development. With the invention of the ICTs, the possibilities are endless and infinitives. Obviously, its role demonstrates that it hasn’t limitations and we can’t detect any type of certain boundaries over ICTs. The role of the ICTs in every segment of the society is additional imperative when civil societies think about encouragement & progress. As a consequence, Information is an enormously powerful tool or truly helps to explore various factors and aspects of society development without any effort. An active and ICTs literate civic society is always required for governing the social movement because strong civic society is the foundation of development and creation of equitable and informatics society.
