SEARCH FOR ICT BEST PRACTICES
LAUNCHED
In its continuing pursuit to promote the use of information and
communications technology (ICT), the Asia Pacific Economic
Conference Digital Opportunity Center (ADOC) is announcing the
start of ADOC Awards, a competition which aims to recognize the
best uses of ICT by government departments, private
organizations, and other entities within the Asia Pacific
community.
Now on its second year, the event highlights the promotion of
ICT best practices as well as encourages individuals to adopt,
utilize, and benefit from ICT. Government departments, private
organizations, and non-government organizations who utilize ICT
in a creative and beneficial way are encouraged to participate
in the event and share their experiences.
The competitions are divided into three categories, namely: ICT
Best Practice for e-Government, ICT Best Practice by Small
Medium Size Enterprise (SME), and Best Practice for Bridging the
Digital Divide.
The ADOC Awards competition will be conducted in six APEC
economies, namely Philippines, Peru, Chile, Indonesia, Papua New
Guinea, and Vietnam. Nine best practices will be selected from
each economy and a representative from each will be invited to
Taipei to share their knowledge and accept an award. Flight and
accommodation expenses will be shouldered by the ADOC
Secretariat.
Deadline for applications is on 26 April 2006. The competition
is open to the government and the private sectors,
free-of-charge.
