RI SOL has joined Bangladesh Telecenter Network which is a coalition of organizations for fostering telecentre movement in Bangladesh. BTN is an inclusive network to bring ICT to the doors of the common people across the country and to collectively promote the idea of building a sustainable information and knowledge system for the poor. The network is based on the idea of maximizing the advantages of information and communication technologies (ICTs) through sharing of experiences and knowledge within the components of the organization.
The BTN owes its emergence to a shared vision of MISSION 2011, which is about building a sustainable information and knowledge system for the poor and the marginalized by 2011, the 40th anniversary of Bangladesh. The goal of Mission 2011 is to promote initiatives taken by private sector, NGOs, research institutions and other stakeholders for building various models of telecentres in Bangladesh and in other developing countries so that by 2011 all citizens of this country would have access to a telecentre for getting communication, information and other services for improving their livelihoods and quality of life.
The network is truly a platform of multi-stakeholder partnership, where NGOs, private sector, research institutions, academia, international and national development partners, individuals and government institutions can together advance the cause of empowering the poor and the marginalized for alleviating poverty by harnessing the powers of ICTs along with other core resources.
