 The chapter is about how governments can help and enhance the role of an ICT in sustainable development and it is aimed at policy decisions that might be made on taxes and expenditure fiscal decisions or on laws and regulations by ministers, legislators, officials, courts, state-owned enterprises that ultimately affect the economy. It looks at four areas. One is it looks at the objectives and goals of the sustainable development and positions that is what we're trying to achieve and explains how they're all, the 17 goals fit together. Secondly, we then point to how important ICT is in the organization of government itself, so achieving an accountable, transparent government is assisted by ICT because it can enable e-government and citizens to interact and to acquire services and provide and obtain information. Cyber security obviously is a big issue in that area. The third and fourth area is really the focus of the paper. The first is on government policy affecting ICT itself, but the second is raising a very important issue, which is the government policy on non-ICT matters or non-ICT markets and how that impacts back and affects the development of ICT and the contribution that ICT can make. What we're basically saying is that a lot of the government policy surrounding non-ICT markets were actually designed in a pre-internet area and in fact they stand as barriers potentially the government policies on non-ICT markets like health and education or food or cities and settlements and on other important matters in government's goals are perhaps constraining the introduction and development of ICT. For example, e-health or mobile health and e-education and mobile education, these things aren't being picked up not because they're not there or can't be developed but because of constraints in the markets. What we're looking for is solutions that try to encourage innovation and competition in all markets and at the same time perhaps and provide a guarantee or some security for the investments that people make in ICT to help sustainable development. But that in essence is the idea. One, ICT can help an organization of government. Two, it can obviously help by affecting the way in which infrastructure investment occurs and applications and content is developed in the ICT markets themselves. But thirdly, it can affect how non-ICT markets feed back into the whole equation. Well, I think that really ICT is the future of sustainable development. Together with Biotech, ICT are the two big innovations in knowledge and in technology that enable us to achieve greater productivity, greater economic growth to make it a more inclusive society for disabled people. For example, autonomous cars and driverless cars and infrastructure and transport that's more intelligent will be more embracing of people with disabilities because they don't need to be able to see to drive a car. But also for people who are not educated, there are applications now that enable them to go online and use smart interactive applications that are voice activated. So they can ask questions online and get answers by voice. They don't have to be able to read. So bringing people and from some of the situations they're in in poor and underdeveloped contexts into the 21st century quickly by in a sense leapfrogging and adopting the new technologies, that's the great opportunity here. The challenge, as I say, is actually government policies standing in the way, creating a less than innovative, less than embracing, less than competitive framework or environment which makes it hard for ICT. So what we do is we keep doing what we've been doing in the past. We're keeping on doing and trying to do what we did in the pre-internet era without making that leap forward that could be done and skipping a development phase, if you will, for most of the planet.
