Cross-posted from bytesforall.



The United Nations Asian and Pacific Training Centre for Information  
and Communication Technology for Development (UN-APCICT) is compiling  
a series of case studies on different aspects of information and  
communications technology for development (ICT4D) from across the Asia- 
Pacific region.



The UN-APCICT Case Studies Series on ICT4D aims to share the vast body  
of knowledge, practical experiences and insights gained from ICT4D  
projects in the Asia-Pacific region. By making the project experiences  
and findings more accessible, the series will be a useful reference to  
policy makers who are planning or supporting ICT4D projects. New ICT4D  
projects can benefit from the case studies, avoiding common pitfalls  
and using strategies that have been demonstrated as successful. The  
case studies can also generate opportunities for networking,  
collaboration and implementation of new solutions.



Each year, two issues of the UN-APCICT Case Study Series on ICT4D will  
be published (in print and online). Each issue will focus on one or  
more ICT4D theme(s). For the inaugural issue, the themes include:



·         Technological Convergence and the New Media

·         e-Governance

·         Gender



We are pleased to invite project managers, development practitioners,  
policy makers and researchers to submit case studies on these themes.  
Case studies can be submitted online, or the submission form can be  
downloaded, completed offline and emailed to me at christine at unapcict.org 
. The deadline for submission of case studies is 31 August 2008.



All completed case studies will be featured on UN-APCICT’s online  
portal - the e-Collaborative Hub (or e-Co Hub at http://www.unapcict.org/ecohub) 
. Select case studies will be published in UN-APCICT’s bi-annual  
publication as part of the UN-APCICT Case Studies Series on ICT4D.  
Each issue will be available in print for worldwide circulation and  
online on UN-APCICT’s e-Co Hub for free download.
