Opportunities (YCDO) framework. YCDO is a coalition of organizations
spearheaded by the GKP, Taking IT Global (TIG), International
Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and Digital Youth
Consortium. Visit YCDO’s online community at http://www.ycdo.net.
Through this award, the GKP aims to reward and bring international
recognition to the outstanding work of young people who have used
information communication technologies (ICT) for the promotion of
development in their communities. The winning project will receive
USD10,000.
Finalists will also be presented with the opportunity to showcase
their projects to an international body of ICT4D policy makers and
practitioners at the ICT4D Platform (http://www.ict-4d.org), held in
conjunction with the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS)
in Geneva in December 2003. The winner will be selected from a wide
array of ICT for development (ICT4D) projects that have been
successful in meeting their stipulated set of objectives through the
efficient and effective use of ICT. The award-giving ceremony will be
held at the ICT4D platform.
