All citizens are entitled to equal access to the technologies that can enrich their lives. ictQATAR's e-inclusion program is committed to developing an ICT-skilled population whose members share equal access to technology and can succeed in a knowledge economy. The program prioritizes disadvantaged demographic groups, especially women, retirees and citizens with special needs.
The program's goal is to elevate Qatar to the third-level of e-maturity as defined by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia. e-maturity takes into account the degree to which citizens are familiar with technology and the extent to which they use its applications in daily life. Through a variety of programs, including online courses for government employees and computer skills trainings for women, ictQATAR's e-inclusion program is working to bring the benefits of ICT to all.
