Anyone interested in promoting of IT in Pakistan ?
Subject: Launching of the Project “E-Karachi”
Respected Sir/Madam,
You know our humble contribution during last five years in promoting the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in
development sector of Pakistan specially in Health, Education, Agriculture and Governance (Attached post event report of our last event on 1-2
Dec 2013 in Marriot Islamabad). Followed by this Pakistan Institute of ICTS for Development (PIID) arranged series of meetings in all provinces
(Report of the meeting in PITB Punjab is attached).
While we have started our preparations for the next annual International Conference on “ICTs for Good Governance in Pakistan” in December
2014, Pakistan Institute of ICTs for Development (PIID) has considered it necessary to launch the project “E-Karachi” which aims to bring all
relevant stakeholders of development sector on one page to use ICTs for development. This approach is likely to handle number of
duplications in our existing financial pressures in development sector.
In this initiative Universities/Colleges, NGOs, Community Leaders, Government Organizations and Technology partners are likely to play their
role under a joint strategy of Development. Public-Private partnership in development is a best global practice to bring fast track development in
Education, Health, Agriculture and Good Governance especially in less developed areas. Through joint efforts all relevant Public & Private sector
organizations engaged in development can make a success story to be projected as Pilot project of ICT4D which can be replicated in other parts
of Punjab and also be showcased at International level.
Project “E-Karachi” aims to bring following four entities on one page to make collaborated efforts under best Global practices of ICT4D to bring
rapid progress in Education, Health, Agriculture and Governance. After some initial success we may just replicate the process in other parts of
Punjab. We intend to continue with the same plan till December 2015 (To show results in MDGs and WSIS) and then catch up for
further initiatives based on ICTs for development post MDGs strategies. Four Entities are:
a) Relevant Government organizations (For Good Governance using ICTs)
b) Universities/collages/schools (Learning through Engaged Community Service)
c) NGOs already working in rural parts around Lahore
d) Technology partners and solution providers
PIID has established required linkages with some national and International organizations and designed an Eco-system to train and make the
required networking in place in shortest possible time.
We are planning the launch of “E-Karachi” project during last week of September 2014. Based on your engagements in development sector we
invite you to kindly join as “Founding Member” of “E-Karachi” project. Your response before August 15, 2014 would be highly appreciated.
With My Warm Regards,
