Information communication technologies (ICTs) are crucial to reducing poverty, improving access to health and education services and creating new sources of income and employment for the poor. But there are substantial discrepancies in access to ICTs between, but also within, countries, depending on key factors such as gender, rural coverage, skills and educational levels. This workshop, organised jointly by the World Bank/infoDev and the OECD, aimed to share best practices in coherent approaches to meeting development objectives laid out by Ministers.

OECD countries are investing more and more in R&D and innovation. What are the impacts of these public investments on the economy and society? What tools do governments have to assess such impacts and how robust are they? How to measure the non-economic impacts? This one-day workshop, under the auspices of the OECD’s Working Party on Innovation and Technology Policy (TIP), will bring together academic experts and policy makers to address these questions and identify good practices for impact assessment.
