Many countries, lack ready access to the policy knowledge and expertise necessary to develop and implement effective ICT strategies at the national level that are key tools for economic and social development. Although committed to the process of modernizing their legal and policy regimes, the expertise required in areas like telecommunications policy and regulation, spectrum policies, electronic law and policy, connectivity strategies and e-government is often unavailable. Limited policy resources also hinder the ability of lesser developed countries to participate in policy-making process internationally, thereby reducing their capacity to influence the global evolution of ICTs, including the world-wide management of the Internet.
The Commonwealth can help to strengthen the policy capacity of Commonwealth governments, especially smaller states, by supporting mechanisms that foster the widespread sharing of e-policy resources. |
