 Today is the official opening of the Wiesis Plus 10 high-level event. Government national representatives and delegates are here today to negotiate two key documents, the Wiesis Statements on Implementation of Outcomes and the Vision for Wiesis beyond 2015. But the focus today is on the Wiesis Prize Ceremony. The prizes are an integral element of the Wiesis process. Back in 2004 it was decided that it was important to reward projects deemed to be putting into practice the Wiesis agenda. Jaroslav Ponder is Strategy and Policy Advisor for the Corporate Strategy Division of the ITU. We are on the annual basis also offering the special international contest of the excellence in the implementation in the field of the Action Lines in order to make sure that the best projects and the nicest projects are becoming the good reference point for other stakeholders and maybe the good platform for sharing the best practices. We are inviting all stakeholders therefore to pay very much of attention to this platform as the unique opportunity to share their expertise and share their knowledge at the global level and we hope to welcome all of them at the World Summit on the Information Society Forum in 2015. We caught up with some of the proud winners and found out about their inspiring innovative projects. We are so proud to be here today and we are so proud to be among the winners. We are one of the 17 winners. The program was integrated in 2012, very early 2012 and it was set to deliver the vision of the country being the leader in almost every field. One of the important fees which our government foresee was the education field and they wanted us to be number one in the world in education. Hence came the idea of transforming the education system from what it was in the past to what it is now today in the field on the ground with our schools, within our schools and with our students and teachers. It took us a very long time in terms of hard work and dedication and preparation to be where we are today. Of course education transformation is not an easy job. It takes ages, it takes decades to change. We wanted to foster the change and boost it up by the introduction of technology. Everyone wants to transform education in their countries but what we did in UAE was to give the support and help of ICT, the information communication and telecommunication infrastructure services and technology to boost the transformation of education. What was the outcome that was most important for WSIS that led them to give you this prize? I think it is the use of ICT to deliver information, to improve information access and second important thing is because of ICT, use of ICT this efficient delivery of healthcare services to the underserved communities, especially the illiterate women who sometimes do not have access to such healthcare information systems. This project is a rural telephony project. A lot of them are completely blacked out and they simply cannot receive because there are a number of communities in blacked out, they cannot receive because also because of their position, some are within valleys, some are behind mountains so it is not very economical for the telecom companies to really take master and drive in there to manage the system, refueling and making sure that the power is working and when there is power outage, then because of those problems they simply will not go in there. This project has come to lift up the lives of those people. They were completely kind of of the communication society. You must be very proud and happy that you've managed to make such a positive impact. Yes, we are very happy and we are glad we have been recognized by institutions outside our county, international institutions. The price, you know, it's very motivating when you have a price and it will give us some recognizing of for this effort we did about this event we organize every year and we hope we will be able this year, 2014, to present our imagination and our idea about after 2015. In our next update we'll be focusing on the high level negotiations which conclude tomorrow. Until then you can see all of our interviews on the ITU YouTube channel.
