freccia dark IWC.png
SDG 1

The Infopoverty Programme was established to concretely help the poorest and most disadvantaged populations in the developing world through the use of Information and Telecommunication Technologies (ICTs). The Infopoverty Programme operates as the executive arm of the deliberations of the Infopoverty World Conferences stated in the final declarations drafted at the end of each Conference. It puts into practice the guidelines issued by the Conference through the creation of the ICT villages model. Such a model follows a process of flexible intervention easily replicable in many areas of the globe and provides various services designed to promote endogenous and sustainable development processes. 

It is composed of:

  • Infopoverty World Conference: it has taken place every year in New York, at the UN Headquarters, in videoconference with parallel sessions with the European Parliament Liaison Office in Milan and in other prestigious Location in various countries. It is the occasion for drafting and validating the Programme.

  • Infopoverty Seminars and Webinars: held throughout the year, they take place in the framework of the UN activities, as working sessions of the Programme.

  • Infopoverty Exhibitions: they present the best practices and most advanced technological innovations. 

  • ICT Villages: The model follows a process of flexible intervention easily replicable in many areas of the globe and provides various e-services designed to promote endogenous and a sustainable development process.

  • Infopoverty Platforms: they are used to connect the communities with international assistance centres specialized in telemedicine, e-learning, e-governance, and food security.
