Information Economy Report 2011: ICT as an enabler for private sector development
The Information Economy Report (IER) 2011 highlights the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in enabling private-sector development (PSD), and seeks to establish a bridge between ICT and PSD policymakers. A vibrant and socially responsible private sector can help achieve sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals. Private-sector development is essential for inclusive and equitable economic growth, and Member States are actively engaged in promoting enterprises capable of creating jobs, raising incomes and productivity, diversifying the economy and generating government revenue. Our challenge is to accelerate progress and ensure that our efforts reach the poorest and most vulnerable in particular. · The Report identifies four areas in which the ICT-PSD interface is especially promising: strengthening the private sector's role in extending ICT infrastructure and services; enhancing ICT use in enterprises; promoting the ICT sector itself; and making more efficient use of ICTs in various public interventions aimed at promoting PSD. Although some countries are already taking advantage of the close links between ICTs and PSD, much more can be done to make ICTs a powerful force for improving the competitiveness of the private sector. The information, analysis and recommendations in this report point the way towards fully exploiting the great potential of ICTs for private-sector development.
