Abstract: Abstract As developing countries join the global information infrastructure era, each country will need to find effective ways of moving to knowledge-based environments, maximizing the benefits and controlling the risks from ICT expansion. This would involve coordinated action through national ICT strategies encompassing the new technologies and services as well as many aspects of the institutional environment. Strategies are needed which would help to build the necessary human, scientific, technical, and innovation fundamentals, as well as the management techniques and institutional and economic incentives that are consistent with creatively using ICT to reap the potential social and economic benefits.
