ICT for Development
ICT is being used increasingly worldwide to facilitate humanitarian and development work, supporting and improving coordination, mapping, information dissemination, access to knowledge and services, monitoring and evaluation, and more. In Myanmar, Information Communication Technology (ICT) penetration has been very low, however the growing network coverage with planned new towers and improving access to electricity is beginning to make ICT more accessible to the general population and also in areas which previously had no access. A wide variety of stakeholders are involved in ICT and humanitarian and development work, including government, global governance organizations, non-government organizations, the private sector, and the people of Myanmar as a whole - each of whom brings different priorities, perspectives, and experiences in these fields.
In May, 2014, the ICT for Development Working Group (ICT4D) has been convened through the Inter-agency Information Management Network to promote improved coordination, sharing of best practices and use of standards in use of ICT for development and humanitarian processes so as to more effectively and efficiently improve the lives of the people of Myanmar. The ICT4D Working Group meets on the last Wednesday of each month at 10.00 in the MIMU and is open to representatives from all actors involved in ICT4D, including NGOs, UN agencies, donors and government agencies, and the private sector to promote a broad base for coordination.
