e-Co Hub
The e-Collaborative Hub or E-CO HUB is a single-entry online gateway for policy makers, trainers and practitioners to easily access and search for relevant knowledge resources on different aspects of ICT for development (ICT4D). There is also a collaborative workspace to discuss views, share ideas and collaborate on projects related to ICT4D.
There can be no development without peace and there will only be slow development without ICTs. Hence, the need to understand and use ICTs appropriately and meaningfully to meet the Millennium Development Goals and Targets.
Administrative Staff College of India
The e-Co Hub has been designed and developed by UN-APCICT as a place for online convergence of like-minded individuals and organizations working to strengthen capacities in the use of ICT for development (ICT4D). It seeks to provide knowledge resources on different aspects of ICT4D and make available an interactive space for sharing knowledge and experiences on ICT4D capacity building.
The e-Co Hub aims to enhance the learning and training experience through its integration with UN-APCICT's Virtual Academy - the online platform for the centre's flagship capacity building initiative - the Academy of ICT Essentials for Government Leaders. The resources available in the e-Co Hub are intended to support trainers and educators in strengthening ICT4D capacity, and assist policy makers in making informed decisions.
The e-Co Hub contains ICT4D resources and links, from United Nations agencies such as UNDP, UNESCAP, UNCTAD, UNESCO, ITU and UNGAID; international organizations; and civil society organizations working in the area of ICT4D and capacity building. The range of resources include books, reports, journal articles, working papers, training manuals, guidelines, video and audio files, as well as portals and networks.
