Thailand's national digital divide strategic framework

Published: 21 April 2008 Publication History

Abstract

Thailand's IT2002 framework calls for the creation of knowledge economy under the equality of all aspects in society as demanded by the constitution. In so doing, it is imperative that the digital divide must be bridged. This necessitates the formulation of the "Digital Divide Strategic Framework" which is in-line with the National Economic Development Plan 2007-2011 and supports the implementation of the Quality of Life for Disabilities Act 2007. The Digital Divide Strategic Framework will address mainly the issue of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) accessibility for the poor, the disabled and the senior citizens. This strategic plan is designed with implementation in mind in which a total of 16 projects will be implemented over a period of three years from 2008-2010.
