GKP Annual Members' Meeting 2006

Colombo, Sri Lanka (10 May 2006)

Colombo, Sri Lanka

Every year, GKP members convene at the Annual Members' Meeting to discuss issues of concern, share knowledge, and agree on a common course of action for the GKP network. Participants of the meeting engage in wide ranging discussions and debates on ICT policy and practice from a variety of perspectives, and on core issues and concerns shaping the Information Society.

For the year 2006, GKP wanted to focus its outreach efforts on the South Asia region. As part of this focus, GKP planned its annual activities to be held in this region.
Through the International Forum on Cross-Sector Partnerships themed "Creating Prosperity Through Innovation - ICT At Work in Development" GKP convened key ICT4D stakeholders from the within and beyond South Asia to interact and exchange knowledge and experiences with GKP members worldwide. This serves to enhance both regional and global understanding regarding ICT4D issues. This Forum was held in Colombo Sri Lanka on 8-9 May 2006.

Immediately after the International Forum, on 10 May 2006, the GKP Annual Members' Meeting 2006 took place at Sarvodaya's Headquarters located in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
