- Indigenous Peoples and the Information Society Workshop
A four-day event during which Indigenous peoples were encouraged to build an action program based on concrete partnerships with and between Indigenous peoples, governments, the private sector, and financial institutions.
- Showcasing Best Practices
The topics that IDRC tackled at its exhibition booth at WSIS included telecentres, low-cost connectivity, WiFi, VoIP, ICTs and poverty reduction, and ICTs and health care.
