This National Human Development Report, the seventh
in a series, focuses on The Role of Information
Communication Technologies (ICTs) in achieving
the Millennium Development Goals.
The timing is quite opportune given the heightened
interest and the significance of ICTs for development.
This is underlined at global level by commitments
made at the World Summit on an Information Society,
and at national level through the government’s ICT
Policy and its e-government strategy.
Information Communication Technologies - the
conveyor belt of globalisation - have tremendous
influence on the functioning of global and national
economies. ICTs are changing production systems
with greater importance given to high tech products
and services.
