Latin American and Caribbean multi-stakeholder consultation for ICT policy priorities for the year 2010

The eLAC Policy Priorities Delphi was carried out between April 2006 and September 2007 under the auspices of the Information Society Programme of the Division of Production, Productivity and Management of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), with the financial assistance of the European Commission’s LIS project. The exercise aimed to identify public policy priorities and options regarding the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for development in Latin America and the Caribbean. It was inspired by the European Union’s policy priority foresight experiences and represents an innovative and more participatory approach to modernizing the way the United Nations assists its member countries in developing public policy agendas. This version 2.0 includes the comments made by governments and other participants during the Regional Consultation Meeting for the Ministerial Conference about the Information Society, which took place 4-5 October in Buenos Aires.
