United Nations Information Technology Service
(UNITeS):
A Legacy
25 August 2000
Close to 30 experts in development and information and
communication technologies (ICTs) met for a workshop from 21 to 23
August at the headquarters of the United Nations Volunteers programme
(UNV) in Bonn, Germany, to discuss ways how volunteers can assist
developing countries in the application of ICT to human development.
Representing a wide range of organizations from all over the world, the
workshop participants focused their discussions on how to launch
operations of the United Nations Information Technology Service
(UNITeS), a volunteer initiative to help bridge the digital divide. UN
Secretary-General Kofi Annan asked UNV to take the lead in bringing
together a coalition of partners to launch the new initiative, which was
announced in April.
