Hello everybody,
We at South Asia Regional Network ( SARnet ) are trying to use ICT to further our common goals. We have developed a platform ( www.wesouthasians.org ) for this. What I find is that the people and organisations for whom the initiative is intended, are not aware of the potential of this resource. This is for a number of reasons. For example : lack of knowledge and experience of the value of the Internet lack of skills in using the Internet Low priority to use of ICT in their work and so on. Does anyone have suggestions and ideas to remedy this?
