Information and Communication Technology for Development in the Pacific

With this volume, the Asian Development Bank seeks to understand the predicament of the small islands of the Pacific region in developing and implementing information and communication technology (ICT). Fearing that some of the more remote islands in the Pacific will be left far behind by a rapidly progressing Asia, this work offers strategies for helping citizens of Asia's smaller nations remain technologically competitive and realize the political benefits of increased digital capabilities. Descriptions of several Asian Development Bank ICT projects in the Pacific and lists of other organizations currently engaged in ICT activities in the region are provided.
