[Telecentres] POWERING ICT: An Energy Solutions Toolkit for ICT Projects

[Barbara Fillip]

Dear colleagues,
 
I am pleased to announce that the Energy Solutions Toolkit for ICT
Projects is now accessible through the DOT-COM Alliance web site. 
This
toolkit has been developed  in collaboration with Winrock by the
dot-ORG
program, implemented by the Academy for Educational Development (AED),
under funding from the U.S. Agency for International Development
(USAID). 

The toolkit is designed to help ICT  program managers, decision-makers
and entrepreneurs select the most  cost-effective mix of ICT and
energy
systems for projects in off-grid  and poorly electrified areas.

The toolkit is still a prototype and we are looking forward to
receiving your feedback will help ensure that the toolkit is able to
effectively provide clear, accessible tools and information. If you
would like to help us improve the toolkit, we kindly request that you
review the prototype and fill out the online feedback survey by July
30,
2005.

You can access the toolkit at
http://www.dot-com-alliance.org/Toolkit.htm.  On this page, you will
find 1) a short presentation about the toolkit; 2) a link to the
toolkit
itself; 3) a link to the survey form to send us your feedback.

Feel free to forward this information to colleagues who might have an
interest in the toolkit.  I look forward to the feedback and will be
working on revisions in August.  

Best regards,
Barbara Fillip, Ph.D.
