[kictanet] Fourth web for development conference UN habitat headquarters Nairobi 28-30 November 2007

[alice]

Since its inception at a conference organized by the World Bank in 2003, 
the Web for Development meetings are now well established as a forum for 
the web community of UN agencies, and international development civil 
society organizations interested in using their expertise to show how 
the Internet can promote development. The three conferences already held 
have evolved to include not only the public sector, but the private 
sector as well.

The fourth conference, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, under the theme 
Driving economic and social development with the Internet, will focus on 
helping developing countries bridge the digital divide. As the seat of 
the UN headquarters in the developing world, the Kenyan capital offers 
participants a first-hand experience of what is involved in coming up 
with new ideas and solutions customised for an environment with limited 
computer skills, inadequate telecommunications and other infrastructure 
that still lags behind that of wealthier nations...
