“Although the development and application of ICT in some countries of Asia and the Pacific is dynamic, a large number of developing countries lag behind in terms of access to and application of ICT,” said Kim Hak-Su, UN Under Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of UNESCAP.
In addition to today's inauguration of the Centre, Microsoft also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with UNESCAP pledging its support for the facility that will be a regional resource for policy-makers, ICT professionals and trainers from developing nations across the region to learn from and share good practices in the area of ICT development, helping in the transition to the “knowledge economy,” the Agency said in a news release.
