�UNDP has been supporting the use of FOSS in developing countries since 1995 - way before it was known as such. The initial support was provided through the Global Programme "The Sustainable Development Networking Programme" (SDNP, http://www.sdnp.undp.org) which also provided training and support to over 45 developing countries. UNDP also entered into partnership with companies such as Red Hat and Corel to ensure the free distribution of FOSS in those countries.
UNDP has recently launched a new global programme that specifically supports FOSS. The programme aims at the establishment and/or strengthening of Regional FOSS centres in five continents. These centres will be working on policy, capacity building, content and applications and enterprise development as well as supporting regional and related national initiatives. UNDP is actively seeking as partners other UN agencies as well as the private sector and NGOs.� Best, Lopo -- Care2x - Integrated Healthcare Environment http://www.care2x.org mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Project Team Member Humaneasy Consulting http://www.humaneasy.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest & candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
