Welcome to the “WSIS+10 Forum” sponsored by the Grameen Foundation and FAO. Join us from 25 November through 6 December.



Over the last several years, there has been significant progress in
improving communication and decision making in rural areas through the
application of new technologies. Multi-stakeholder partnerships have
formed, and time and money have been invested. Now more than ever we
need to reflect on our experiences and strategize for the future.

 

What have we learned? What are the obstacles that still need to be
overcome? Is everyone benefiting equally from these advances in
technology?



In 2014 and 2015 reviews of our successes and failures in improving
agricultural and rural development with ICT will be part of the WSIS+10 events
and the MDG review. Multiple local, national and regional events will
provide inputs. The e-Agriculture Community, has been invited to make
its own inputs, and the Grameen Foundation has kindly offered to lead
this activity.
