It means ensuring that tools and technologies that can support CSOs in meeting their strategic objectives (or mission) exist and are available and accessible. Availability and accessibility covers a range of factors, such as infrastructure, cost, intellectual property dispensations, and adherence to standards. Strategic use also requires that CSOs be aware of the range of technology options available and have the skills and knowledge to use them effectively and securely, and that they understand their own organisational context and needs.

Official website: UNDP, UNECA, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) was established by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) of the United Nations (UN) in 1958 as one of the UN's five regional commissions. ECA's mandate is to promote the economic and social development of its member states, foster intra-regional integration, and promotes international cooperation for Africa's development. ECA's dual role as a regional arm of the UN, and as a part of the regional institutional landscape in Africa, positions it well to make unique contributions to member states' efforts to address their development challenges. Its strength derives from its role as the only UN agency mandated to operate at the regional and subregional levels to harness resources and bring them to bear on Africa's priorities.

In human-computer interaction and computer science, usability usually refers to the elegance and clarity with which the interaction with a computer programme or a website is designed.
Source: Wikipedia, W WSIS - World Summit on the Information Society WSIS was a global series of events held in two phases. The first phase took place in Geneva in December 2003 and the second phase will take place in Tunis in November 2005. The objective of the first phase was to develop and foster a clear statement of political will and take concrete steps to establish the foundations for an Information Society for all, reflecting all the different interests at stake. The second phase involves a process of monitoring and evaluation of the progress of feasible actions outlined in Geneva and a concrete set of deliverables to be achieved by the time the Summit met again in Tunis in November 2005.
