1 United Nations Global Alliance for ICT and Development GAID Introduction 1

2 Message from Mr Ban Ki-Moon United Nations Secretary-General central role to play in the quest for development, dignity and peace. The international consensus on this point is clear. We saw it at the 2000 Millennium Summit and at the 2005 World Summit. And we saw it in the two phases of the World Summit on the Information Society. With the launch of the Global Alliance for ICT and Development last March 2006, the international community has taken that consensus a crucial step further. The Alliance is well placed to promote the use of ICT in fighting poverty, illiteracy and disease, in protecting the environment and empowering women and girls. It is important that you work as a true partnership of all essential stakeholders Governments, civil society, the private sector, academia and others. All of you are needed GAID Introduction 2
