ICT as
a Development Enabler: A review of the case of
Yemen |
| The definition of ICT is not limited
to or associated with computers and computer networks
alone. ICT is “the set of activities which
facilitate by electronic means the processing, transmission
and display of information” . Another more
comprehensive definition is: “ICTs are a complex
and varied set goods, applications and services
used for producing, distributing, processing, transforming
information – [including] telecoms, TV and
radio broadcasting, hardware and software, computer
services and electronic media.” Being one
of the least developed countries in the world,
it is no coincidence that Yemen, of 175 surveyed
countries, ranked 148 in the Technology Diffusion
and Creation Index in the Human Development Report
2003.
A strategic approach to the use of ICT for development
in Yemen can evidently help the country achieve
development goals including:
- Improving the health care delivery system.
- Improving the efficiency, accessibility and
quality of the learning process.
- Creating economic opportunities, generating
income, and reducing poverty.
- Making government processes more efficient
and transparent.
- Creating sustainable environmental management.
