| The implementation team of the Digital Opportunity Task Force (DOT Force) dealing with Action Point 1, to support the development of national e-strategies, presented its final report to the G8 summit in Kananaskis (Canada) from 25 – 28 June 2002. Created in the fourth quarter of 2000, the DOT Force set for itself certain Action Points, and within an Implementation Framework established a team for each point (see DOT Force and the Genoa Plan of Action).
‘Achievements: The work of the National e-Strategies team has led to the development of three initiatives: 1) International e-Development Resource Network (IeDRN): The IeDRN is designed to marshal worldwide efforts in support of national e-strategies for development. The IeDRN will establish a focal point for bringing together providers of e-strategy information and expertise with those individuals, organizations, and governments who can use the resources effectively. 2) The Global Digital Opportunity Initiative (GDOI): The GDOI is a global public-private partnership committed to increasing the impact of information and communications technologies to achieve development goals. The GDOI will focus on approximately twelve developing countries over its first two years.

Its goal is to provide an effective and original contribution toward the awareness, planning and implementation of e-government specifically in those countries that have not or have only partially exploited the potentiality of this important tool for bridging the social and economic divides.[See also UN: E-Government for Development Conference Final Communique]’ Resources: The full text of the final report of Team 1 is published by DOT Force at http://www.dotforce.org The members of Team 1 were: Chairs: Members (Core Group): |
