Information and communication technologies for generating and disseminating know-how.

Abstract

OAS member countries are engaged in a process of developing, implementing and using information and telecommunications technologies for their collective development. The Plan of Action produced by the Summit of the Americas in December 1994 expressed a strong commitment by the governments of the Americas to meet the information infrastructure needs of their countries. To do this, they require recommendations for action to orient the joint initiatives to be taken. The recommendations in this document rely on studies and data collected in the field, and refer to already existing initiatives in the OAS community, as well as in other regions of the world.
