For those with an interest in ICTs and micro/small enterprise, the following sessions are available at WSIS-Tunis:
Wednesday 16 Nov, 1500-1700, room Jendouba Amb. Diouf (UNDP Africa), Richard Duncombe (Univ. Manchester), Prof. van Ginkel (UN Univ.), Kandeh Yumkella (UNIDO) discuss use of ICTs in enterprise to address poverty Thursday 17 Nov, 14.00-15.00, room Zaghouan Richard Heeks (Univ. Manchester), Francisco Proenza (FAO), Peter Wolcott (Univ. Omaha) discuss strategies for effective use of ICTs for micro/small enterprise. Neither of these appear in the parallel events list under an enterprise heading, so there may be other ICTs and enterprise events that are similarly hidden. The only overt activity I could find is a UNIDO workshop on Thursday 17 Nov, 9.00-11.00, room Jerba, looking at ICTs and SMEs in the Arab region. For those seeking further resources, online guidance handbooks on ICTs and small enterprise can be obtained from: http://www.manchester.ac.uk/idpm/dig Richard Heeks Development Informatics Group University of Manchester, UK ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, a Non-Profit Organization*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
