Thanks Andy, I'll be speaking at a rountable with the theme, "From Commitment to Action: Implementation after Tunis". Its been described as a session that should discuss E strategies and national priorities; International cooperation; Empowering citizens; Social inclusion; Growth and job creation; Cultural diversity and common heritage; and Multi stakeholder partnerships.
Obviously, these sub-themes and the central theme would enjoy a lot of support from the telecentre intervention with ICT4D efforts, after Tunis. I would be glad to read from those who can spare a moment to share their thoughts (especially as it relates to their unique experiences) on the theme. I look forward to seeing members of the network in Tunis.
