"A country's information
infrastructure -telecommunications, information technology, and
broadcasting- is an
essential component of political, economic, social and cultural development. The
information infrastructure development needs in the Americas are immense. The governments
of the Americas intend to meet these needs by engaging in multiple actions, where
consistent with their respective governing laws, such as: encouraging private sector
investment to increase participation in the telecommunications and information
infrastructure sectors; promoting competition; implementing flexible regulatory regimes;
stimulating diversity of content, including cultural and linguistic diversity; providing
access to information networks for service and information providers; and ensuring
universal service, so that the benefits of the information infrastructure will be
available to all members of our societies." |
|
RedHUCyT's main objective is to
connect institutions in the member countries to the Internet. The project provides high-tech
equipment, technical support, specialized training, and sponsors technical workshops and
seminars in the region. |
Transnational Digital Government Project |
 |
The Transnational Digital Government Project seeks to
combine five advanced information technologies into one integrated
system and apply the resulting system to the automation of a public
sector function. The government function chosen for the system's pilot
application is the control of immigration at remote borders, and the
system will be tested in two OAS Member States -- Belize and the
Dominican Republic. Once the system has been proven, it can be applied
to other government functions (i.e.: health and education) to enhance
international cooperation and more effective government in general.
