A United Nations agency is organizing an ICT (Information and Communication Technology) training in Burma, in collaboration with a Burmese government department.
The ICT academic training workshop will commence on March 29 and will carry on for a week. It will be held in Pyin Oo Lwin, Manadalay Division.
Hyeun-Suk Rhee Director of UN-APCICT/ESCAP told Mizzima “This is the first time that we are launching an ICT programme in Burma. Our brief is to sensitize through the programme policy makers and ICT professionals, who are our first target group. We hope after our launch, government agencies will be able to carry on the programme in partnership with universities and the private sector to include more people,”.
"We are going to hold an academic workshop in Burma in collaboration with the Civil Service Selection and Training Board of Myanmar (CSSTBM), an agency of the Myanmar government,” he added.
The United Nations Asian and Pacific Training Centre for Information and Communication Technology, Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN-APCICT/ESCAP) with its centre in South Korea has a mandate of building Information and Communication Technology human institutional capacity for ESCAP member countries to use ICT for social economic development.
