Abstract

PAN Asia Networking Program Initiative, IDRC’s longest-standing ICT4D program, helps Asian organizations and institutions adopt and use ICTs as a means to address development problems and to strengthen their own research and development capacities. This external review found that PAN has attentively focused on its theme of digital inclusion piloting ICT technologies both from the “hard” and “soft” components into various communities in rural areas (Laos, Afghanistan) and mountainous regions (Bhutan, Northern Pakistan), and proactively makes changes based on feedback from earlier evaluations. This is one of the key strengths of PAN.
