This seems to be an interesting call from GKP. Though it was sent as an
internal announcement, I thought to share it as a good step to aware the
decision makers.

e-Awareness Seminar Series for Asian Parliamentarians (e-ASSAP)

Call for Nominations

The Global Knowledge Partnership, the Swiss Agency for Development and
Cooperation (SDC) and the Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme
(APDIP) are jointly organizing the e-Awareness Seminar Series for Asian
Parliamentarians (e-ASSAP) tentatively scheduled for March 2003. A total
of three seminars will be held in three different locations in the Asian
region:

A) Seminar I - Delhi, India
Target participants : Parliamentarians from India.

B) Seminar II - Colombo, Sri Lanka
Target participants : Parliamentarians from South Asia countries
(Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) and
Afghanistan.

C) Seminar III - Hanoi, Vietnam
Target participants : Parliamentarians from ASEAN member countries
(Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam); China and South Korea.

Main Objectives
. Sensitize high-level Asian parliamentarians on the use of ICT for the
development and transformations of their constituencies and nation.
. Highlight critical issue policies that affect the formulation and
implementation of ICT policies and strategies.
. Share lessons learned and best practices from across Asia, Europe and
North America that can be adapted and applied to situations in
participating countries.
. Provide Asian nations with sub-regional and regional contexts for
inter-country co-operation on ICT for development issues.
. Ensure gender issues are highlighted via the seminar topic and via
representation by female MP's.

The Global Knowledge Partnership Secretariat seeks assistance from GKP
members to nominate appropriate parliamentarians from the listed
countries to attend e-ASSAP, especially those with a demonstrated
interest in ICT4D but who do not carry an ICT-related ministerial
portfolio.

Furthermore, because parliamentarians are a transient group, each
country delegation should consist of at least one senior parliamentary
staff member so that he/she can provide continuity. In the case of
countries that do not have legislatures, senior government officials may
be proposed.

To submit your list of nominations, please email the GKP Secretariat at
address@hidden

Deadline for nominations: 29 November 2002.
