ICT capacity and human resource development in Island economies.

There is significant potential for Information Communication Technology (ICT) to play a major role in assisting economic and social development. However the technology, infrastructure, plans, and policies must be sustained and supported by people that have ICT skills, knowledge, and abilities. There are many facets in ICT capacity development in Island economies that this paper will touch upon: What are the best strategies for a country to develop a robust ICT skilled workforce at all levels which include the user, operator, administrator, and policy maker? What level of ICT education and training is needed? What are some of the challenges in delivering ICT education and training programs? What are some strategies for the design, development, and delivery of these programs? What are some examples of ICT capacity development programs in the Pacific Islands region?
