Project Background a. APEC is currently preoccupied with how to respond to the technical, regulatory and commercial requirements presented by the growth of ICT and the concept of the new economy. The success of APEC has been the result of the ability of our society to adapt to changing circumstances. At their meeting in Brunei, Leaders said that they are committed to develop and implement a policy framework which will enable the people of urban, provincial and rural communities in every economy to have individual or community-based access to information and services offered via the Internet by Their first aim in this respect was to triple the number of people within the region with individual and community-based access by Ministers also expressed their collective concern that digital divide could further widen social and economic disparities across the APEC region and they called for a publicprivate partnership to create digital opportunity. b. At the 9th APEC Economic Leaders Meeting in 2001 in Shanghai, the leaders agreed to expand the Brunei Goal by adopting an e-apec Strategy. In addressing the digital divide, the e-apec Strategy specifies two goals, including: (1) To transform the digital divide into a digital opportunity in order that APEC economies benefit from the opportunities presented by a networked environment; and (2) To prepare APEC economies and all of people to use the information revolution as a passport to the New Economy. c. In support of APEC Economic Leaders decisions, Chinese Taipei proposed the establishment of an APEC Digital Opportunity Center at the 11 th APEC Economic Leaders meeting in Bangkok in The leaders welcome Chinese Taipei s proposal as reflected in the Chair s Summary. 4
5 d. Telecenters are public places where people can use computers, the Internet, and get information training. Establishment and sustainable operation of telecenters are becoming an important issue to bridge the digital divide in rural and under-served areas. Efforts related to telecenter development have been made in APEC TEL in recent years, including some workshops that explored strategies for affordable technologies and sustainable operation for telecenters in rural areas. Among APEC member economies, some telecenter projects have been also developed in recent years. In order to enhance relevant works and highlight APEC s efforts in this matter, Chinese Taipei proposes to initiate a self-funded project in this matter. e. This project is one of projects to fulfil the establishment of the APEC Digital Opportunity Center. In the project s preparatory phase, Chinese Taipei proposes to hold a telecenter workshop concurrently to the APEC TEL Project Objectives This project aims to carry on experience sharing, consensus building, workforce training and trial establishment of telecenter in APEC region in order to: a. Fulfil the goal of an APEC digital society in accordance with the Leaders commitments and The e-apec strategy; b. Create a cooperative mechanism for public and private sector in bridging the digital divide; c. Act as a major enabler of the New Economy, while harnessing the full potential of the information and communication technology (ICT); d. Reinforce and enhance human capacity building toward a successful and sustainable model for telecenter development in APEC. 3. Project Methodology a. The strategy of this initiative is to bridge the digital divide through a practical establishment of telecenters with a focus on strengthening digital capability of rural area people. In its first phase, the project will involve workshops, shortterm training. In the second phase, the establishment of telecenters in APEC developing members will be implemented. There will be a discussion session at the end of first phase. Conclusion of the discussion and comments from member economies on first phase implementation will be the references for the design of second phase. b. In order to share relevant experiences and build consensus in the beginning stage of project implementation, Chinese Taipei proposes to arrange a one-day workshop concurrently to the TEL30. All member economies will be invited to participate in the workshop. In the case of developing economies, the workshop 5
6 will provide substantial funding for one participant. In this case, the participant should be the contact point for telecenter development subject to this project in the member economy. c. After the workshop concurrent to TEL30, in Dec. 2004, a short-term training camp for telecenter management and development will be held in Chinese Taipei. APEC developing economies will be invited to participate. d. Experts from member economies will be invited to share their experiences and best practices for the workshop and training course. Online training courses will be developed as well. e. The trial establishment of telecenters will be developed in the base of developing economies participation. Due to the limited resource, the project limits the number of participating members no more than four, which remains changeable subject to the project development. 4. Project Outputs/Deliverables a. Guidelines on developing telecenters in rural areas among APEC member economies. b. Best practices of telecenters in rural areas of APEC region. c. Recommendations on related issues, such as government policy, public and private sector cooperation and development methodology. 5.
