Hi, Katrin, the CTC VISTA Project is the most popular
program in the AmeriCorps recruitment system and has
generally been considered a good example of
supportive volunteerism in the U.S. There's been some
interest in exploring some of our programmatic features
internationally and we've had sporadic exchanges with
the Peace Corps in this regard as well. Apart from our six
month reports <www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/projectreports.html>
and site visit evaluations from the Corporation for National and
Community Service, the Trotter Institute undertook a program
evaluation a few years ago; it's at
<www.cpcs.umb.edu/vista/finaltrottereval.htm>.
best, ----peter

> Hello, NTEN, Rider, and DDN communities,
>
> The UN Alliance for ICT and Development, chaired by Intel, is
> developing a framework for successful volunteerism programs for ICT
> and Development projects. The project is currently surveying the
> "community" on volunteer programs that are successful and
> not-successful (and what aspects of the program contribute to their
> success or failure).
>
> So, two questions to you, esteemed community:
> 1. What ICT Volunteer Programmes are you aware of? (UNITes and other
> major programs are on radar, but send me all that you are aware of,
> even obscure ones - as well as country-specific programs)
> 2. Are there any public or private evaluations of such programmes to
> point the task force to? (I only found one, evaluating the
> effectiveness of the major Canadian ICT4D Volunteer Programme).
>
> Thanks so much for your help -- you are invaluable! And of course,
> please forward widely to other relevant lists.
>
> Best,
>
