Digital Opportunity through Technology and Communication Partnerships
"Digital Opportunity through Technology and Communication (DOT-COM) is an alliance of three cooperative agreements to promote information and communication technology for development. DOT-COM activities cross all sectors, including education, economic growth, women in development, agriculture, trade, health, environment, and telecommunications/e-commerce policy. The three DOT-COM cooperative agreements provide expertise and services in policy, access, and learning systems. The DOT-COM award for policy ("dot-GOV") provides assessments, training and technical assistance on telecommunications and electronic commerce policy and regulatory reform. The DOT-COM award for access ("dot-ORG") provides pilots, technical assistance and institutional support to increase access and use of communication technology by the under-served. The DOT-COM award for learning systems ("dot-EDU") provides pilots, technical assistance and institutional support for the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in learning systems. Gender equity and collaboration with private sector ICT firms are emphasized throughout DOT-COM. The Global Bureau Center for Human Capacity Development (G/HCD) and the Office of Women in Development (G/WID) fund the core DOT-COM awards."
