Subject: UNCTAD Call for Contributions - Information Economy Report 2011

Information Economy Report 2011 - ICTs and Private Sector Development 
To be launched in late 2011 
  
UNCTAD Call for Contributions 


The Information Economy Report 2011 will focus on the role of information and 
communication technologies (ICTs) in private sector development. A distinction 
will be made between efforts aimed at addressing internal constraints of 
enterprise growth and efforts at improving the broader conditions and systems in 
which private enterprises operate. Possible benefits from more effective use of 
ICTs may include reduced business costs, reduced risk, higher productivity, 
better access to markets and increased competition. 


In this context, UNCTAD is launching an open call for contributions. UNCTAD is 
interested in receiving studies/articles related to how governments and other 
stakeholders are applying ICT applications to support the creation or growth of 
enterprises in developing countries. Evidence of success or failure cases is 
also welcome.  


Deadline: 18 March 2011 
Contributions should be sent to: ict4d at unctad.org
