Dear GKD Members, OneWorld South Asia's (OWSA) <http://www.oneworld.net/> under the aegis of Mission 2007 <http://www.mission2007.org/> would like to invite you to a "Content for Community Needs" Programme meeting (30 June and 1 July 2005; India International Centre, New Delhi.) OneWorld will introduce the concept of 100,000 Telecentres and the opportunities that exist for content developers/providers in the immediate future. One of the practical ways of using ICTs, we feel, is to set up Telecentres (Rural Advocacy Centres/Information Kiosks) that contain information relevant to the needs of the rural/urban communities. Such Telecentres would facilitate Communities' access to information/facilities/services without their having to waste any time in procuring/accessing the same. To the worker at the community level, having to procure such information would mean in real terms, having to drop out of work for at least a day -- often forgo a days wages -- and the resultant food for him/her self and the family. For this purpose there is an urgent need to digitise a content repository for community needs to reach out to rural/urban India at large, as well as tailor the data to the respective needs of the communities. Given this backdrop, OWSA with more than 500 organisations including NGOs, donors, multilateral organization, private sector, media, academicians and governments as its partners, attempts to provide a database that answers the needs of the grassroots and enhances their quality of life. However, it can soon be realised the task is enormous while the need is immediate -- so we do what we know best -- call on our partners and colleagues who have amongst them a pool of resources, which we could then collate in a content repository for community needs. This definitely would be an ongoing process, as data/information is always being made available. As a first step, we would like to invite GKD members to join us in a two day *Content for Community Needs Programme* (agenda below) where we could together combine our resources and pool information which could be put to the use of those who need it the most. This is expected to build capacities and explore alternative tools and techniques for empowering people at the grassroots. Complete credit would go to the source of information, and OWSA merely provides the platform for its dissemination. A line in response confirming your interest and participation would be most appreciated. Yours sincerely, Basheerhammad Shadrach Director OneWorld South Asia C5 Qutub Institutional Area New Delhi - 110016 T : 91 11 51689000 F : 91 11 51689001 RSVP: email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] *********** Content for Community Needs Programme Vision: To provide a database that answers the needs of the grassroots and enhances their quality of life Venue: India International Centre, Conference Room II Duration: 30 June and 1 July 2005 Draft Agenda Thursday, June 30, 2005 0930 - 1030 Inaugural Session Welcome & Introductory Remarks by Dr. Basheerhamad Shadrach, Director, OneWorld South Asia (OWSA) Importance of Contents for Community Needs by Prof. M.S.Swaminathan/ Dr. Arunachalam 1000 - 1230 *Health & Nutrition* Population Mother/Child Health Nutrition *Diseases* HIV/AIDS Malaria Tuberculosis *Water/Water borne Diseases* Diahorrea/Dysentry/Cholera/Jaundice/ Typhoid/etc. *Rehabilitation* Facilities/Benefits *Gender* Gender in Governance Cultural Bias 1230 - 1300 Action Plan and Concluding Remarks 1300 - 1400 Lunch Break 1400 - 1410 Introductory Remarks by Director OWSA 1410 - 1420 Concept and Background 1430 - 1700 Livelihoods Microcredit Small & Medium Enterprises Employment Gender in Employment Corporate Social Responsibility 1700 - 1730 Action Plan and Concluding Remarks Friday, July 1, 2005 0930 - 0940 Introductory Remarks by Director OWSA 0940 - 0950 Concept and Background - GC Division 1000 - 1230 Agriculture Animal Husbandry/Livestock Food Security Grain Fruit & Vegetables Public Distribution System 1230 - 1300 Action Plan and Concluding Remarks 1300 - 1400 Lunch Break 1400 - 1410 Introductory Remarks by Director OWSA 1410 - 1420 Concept and Background 1430 - 1700 Education School Higher Adult Vocational Remedial Distance e-Learning Gender in Learning Environment Sanitation Pollution Wildlife Forests Disaster Natural Manmade Governance Panchayat ------------ ***GKD is solely supported by EDC, a Non-Profit Organization*** To post a message, send it to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To subscribe or unsubscribe, send a message to: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
