Book Review: ICT4D – Information Communication Technology
The book ICT4D – Information Communication Technology for Development, by Parveen Pannu and Yuki Azad Tomar, provides a comprehensive overview of how Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) can be used effectively for development.

AMIC Produces Radio and News Feature Series on Labour Migration
In collaboration with the Brussels based 'International Resource Centre on the Human Rights of Migrant Workers', AMIC produced 12 radio features on migrant labour issues from Asia, for dissemination worldwide via their 'December 18' project to mark the UN's International Migrants Day. Six of the programmes (on Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Philippines and Sri Lanka) were produced in-house by Kalinga Seneviratne and Tharuka Prematilake. While AMIC also commissioned special features from Siraj Shajhan in Bangladesh, Gemidiri community radio in Sri Lanka, Radio DXUP in Mindanao and Suara Warga community radio from Indonesia. Five special feature reports from Singapore, Thailand, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and the Philippines were also generated out of the radio programmes for the Non-aligned News Network coordinated by Bernama of Malaysia. These reports were carried by their international wire service to national news agencies in over 120 developing countries. The radio programmes and the news features have been posted in AMIC's alternative media portal (www.amicaltmedia.net). |
