Global Knowledge Partnership’s Executive Committee Chair Walter Fust said, ‘GKP has always believed that development is not a one-way North to South process. Development takes place simultaneously at many levels and across many dimensions. We believe that sustainable and equitable development can only be achieved through the sharing of knowledge and the building of partnerships across sectors.’

He went on to explain: ‘The experience of developing countries in using ICT for development can actually benefit developed countries, particularly in addressing the challenge of social-economic inclusion.

Social-economic inclusion is a problem that is shared across nations today, regardless of economic status. We are pleased that so many countries, including Malaysia, are giving their full support to achieving our vision: of “A world of equal opportunities for all people to have access to and use knowledge and information to improve their lives”.
