| Canada's IDRC @ The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) |
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) (Geneva, 2003; Tunis, 2005) provides a platform for dialogue on the central role ICTs play in human development, as well as a unique opportunity to engage governments, the private sector, civil society, and international organizations in a forward-looking action plan. IDRC and its partners have been engaged in the WSIS Preparatory Process from the onset and had a strong presence at the Geneva Summit in December 2003. IDRC organized two workshops at the ICT4D Platform, exhibited projects at the Canadian Pavilion, Webcasted interviews and special coverage from the Summit, and participated in numerous workshops and events to promote digital inclusion in the information society.

Open and Closed Skies: Satellite Access in Africa
Africa’s vast inaccessible terrain and insufficient energy infrastructure makes it difficult and costly to roll out wire-line networks and fibre optic links in heartland areas. Low-cost satellite-based Internet therefore responds to the access crisis in the region, and provides a potentially affordable opportunity for connectivity.
