Abstract

This final prospectus review of the Information and Networks (I&N) program serves to inform evaluators of IDRC’s progress in achieving goals set, 2011- 2016. IDRC recognizes that the policies, attitudes and practices defining digital space impact the distribution of benefits of the networked world over time. For instance, openness such as in the form of Open Government, has a rapidly developing agenda with mixed social implications; for while network technologies can enable openness, their widespread use also allows governments and others to censor and spy on a massive scale. Achievements and challenges under each I&N outcome area over the prospectus period are reviewed.
