The Participants

The project budget supports an estimated 20 to 25 participants in total in their individual capacity, with personal care assistants as appropriate. Participants are expected to have personal experience or knowledge of disability and of information and communication technologies in social life and development. Participants who are to serve as seminar and workshop resource persons should have practical experience in governmental policy or legislative work concerning ICT and persons with disabilities, programme planning and management responsibilities, or similar experience in the academic, non-governmental or private sectors.

The selection of resource persons and seminar and workshop participants will emphasise persons who have direct experience or personal knowledge of disability. Special attention will be accorded to involvement of workshop participants from least developed countries, low income countries and countries with economies in transition and who have knowledge and practical experience in promoting, planning and developing policies, programmes and projects on ICT and development.
