Development divides and digital bridges: why ICT is key for achieving the MDGs, by Mr. Shoji Nishimoto and Ms. Radhika Lal
"While the need for pro-poor policies and increased development finance to scale-up interventions and social and physical infrastructure have been acknowledged as being essential for achieving these objectives, the important role of information and communication technologies (ICT) in facilitating a more effective and transparent use of resources, scaling-up of services, and in catalyzing learning, investment and trade, have not always been factored into MDG-related strategies and there are multiple gains to be achieved from doing so."
