MODULE III GLOSSARY A Access to Information The right to access to publicly-funded information means that all information, including scientific and social research, that is produced with the support of public funds should be freely available to all. More broadly, access to information also refers to communities or individuals gaining access to information which was previously not available to them, as a result of access to information and communication technologies and/or the internet. Source: APC Internet Rights Charter, Accessibility Accessibility is a general term used to describe the degree to which a system is usable by as many people as possible. In the context of the internet, accessibility refers to the design of web interfaces, content and applications which are accessible to all, including people with physical, sensory or cognitive disabilities, people with changing abilities due to aging, people who are not literate, people who speak minority languages and people with slow internet connections.

They imply coordinated operations, a kind of consensus among the diverse involved actors. Accelerating factors require financial investments, specialized human resources, communicational strategies, and training strategies.
Advocacy The act of pleading or arguing in favour of something, such as a cause, idea, or policy; it is an active support.

Analytical Phase The Analytical Phase, also called Assessment, is the phase for strategic definitions, when the ExpertТs Group will have to answer to questions on the general and sectoral goals of the initiated process. It is the feedback of the Diagnostic. The Analytical phase is also an exercise in which the Experts Group will have to define the necessary institutional transformations (such as the creation of a National Information Society Agency, or changes in the legislation) to reach the proposed Information Society model.
AISI - The African Information Society Initiative AISI is an action framework that has been the basis for information and communication activities in Africa since 1996. AISI is not about technology. It is about giving Africans the means to improve the quality of their lives and fight against poverty. The African Information Society Initiative aims at supporting and accelerating socio-economic development across the region. Driven by critical development imperatives, it focuses on priority strategies, programmes and projects which can assist in the sustainable build-up of an information society in African countries. This is in accordance with the regional integration goals of the Treaty establishing the African Economic Community, which foresaw the necessity of information networks and of regional databases, information sources and skills capacities.

Brunei Darussalam joined on January 8, 1984, Vietnam on July 28, 1995, Laos and Myanmar on July 23, 1997, and Cambodia on April 30, 1999.

Source: Wikipedia, C Capacity-building Capacity-building should be understood as a whole range of ideas, approaches and development interventions rather than a single concept. It goes from purely technical input (e.g. training) via organisational development (focusing on an organisationТs systems and physical assets, but also on its people, its culture and its ability to plan for the future) and institutional development (the strengthening of links and development of the environments within which organisations exist) to a broader process involving individuals and communities in poor countries, strengthening and building their understanding and knowledge of their own needs, entitlements and rights, and enabling them to organise themselves to respond to this understanding.

Available at Civil Society Civil society commonly embraces a diversity of spaces, actors and institutional forms, varying in their degree of formality, autonomy and power. Civil societies are often populated by organisations such as registered charities, development non-governmental organisations, community groups, women's organisations, faith-based organisations, professional associations, trades unions, self-help groups, social movements, business associations, coalitions and advocacy groups.

Websites, online tools and software are dominated by the use of Latin script. This effects the development of local content in non-Latin languages and impedes the possibility of intercultural content exchange.

Source: Creative Commons website, Community There are a number of ways of defining communities and together they make up the interconnected systems of society. Some approaches include: geographic communities (such as suburbs or towns that are often referred to as "the local communities");
communities of interest, identity, or circumstance (such as the business and its various industry sectors and the research communities); the non-profit and voluntary sectors, which are also known as the community sector; ethnic and cultural communities;
communities of interest such as those for hobbies, sports or politics; imagine communities (a concept coined by Benedict Anderson which states that a nation is a community socially constructed, which is to say imagined by the people who perceive themselves as part of that group); and communities of circumstance, such as youth, parenthood, senior citizens or the disabled; among other perceptions.
Connectivity The ability to use an electronic network in order to send and receive information between any locations, devices or business services.
