 It's day two of the World Summit for the Information Society Forum and already there has been recognition for projects that are using ICTs to meet development goals. Yesterday was a day of glittering prizes with 18 organisations and countries awarded WUSSES project prizes for outstanding effort and achievement. Taking stock of what's worked on the ground is an important element of using ICTs in innovative ways and making a difference. We have been offering technology intermediaries the possibility of gaining skills and access to online facilities which would enable them to create content, to share content, to collaborate remotely, to speak remotely at cost zero. What we did in Kuwait is to implement a new system that's called E-Employment. That's the system really connect the citizens or the people who want to work in the government with the different government agencies. One way that information and communication technology can really make a difference is in fostering innovation in business. But first you have to match up the right technology with performing the right role. It's why apart from governments, apart from civil society, apart from international organisations, the WUSSES Forum has placed such an emphasis on involving the private sector in the discussions here. We are providing the technology but what's important is to meet with other stakeholders, ICT ministers who have a vision of how they could use this technology to actually make a better impact. Many of our best programmes have been done by the people that attend here and it's critical when a programme in one continent brings a healthcare programme, an education programme, programmes to reach lower incomes. And another country is trying to do something similar but doesn't know what's worked and just as importantly what hasn't worked. And so it's that sharing of best practices that's absolutely critical. Other important strategic partners for the WUSSES Forum are countries such as Mexico, Kuwait, Kazakhstan and the United Arab Emirates. All are lending their weight and expertise to the process. Today we've seen a number of high level dialogues. These include input from specialist experts and also a chance for members of the audience to contribute subjects they're dealing with, smart monitoring of the weather and this one empowering women. In Africa some women found that using their mobile phone they can be more efficient in their NGOs. From that they have started using mobile applications and I do think that there is many many things to do in that area. It's true that issues for example stereotypes or the fact that girls don't have much access to ITTs, especially in developed countries. I think it's a real issue and people don't really tend to see it. Tomorrow former UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan will be dropping in on the WUSSES Forum and we will be taking a closer look at how remote participants are following what's going on here in Geneva.
