| Petersburg Prize Offered to ICT Innovators |
The
Petersberg Prize will recognize the most exemplary contribution
in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for
development during the last ten years. The awardee will receive the €100,000
Prize. Nominations are due by February 1, 2004.
Modern
ICT is an increasingly important factor for development. The field is
young, and the promise of using ICT has yet to be realized in most of the
world.
With
the Petersberg Prize, the Development Gateway is therefore seeking to help
advance the understanding of ICT’s role in development and recognize
leaders in the field.
The
Prize is focused on impact on social and economic development.
It will be awarded for a significant and successful contribution in the
use of ICT for development – one that will have benefited a large number
of people. The degree of the success, the magnitude of the benefits, and
the importance of the contribution to a development priority, such as
poverty reduction, will all be taken into account when reviewing the
nominations.
Please
nominate the individual or organization that you believe
has had a major impact using ICT for development. In addition to awarding
the €100,000 Prize, the Development Gateway will share nominees’
stories on its global portal of development information and resources, in
order to advance the understanding of their contribution and of ICT’s
potential impact.
The Prize, sponsored by Deutsche Telekom AG and Microsoft Deutschland
GmbH, will be awarded during the next annual Development Gateway Forum,
which will take place in mid-2004. More
