Haiti - Social : 3rd forum of CRED on the theme of development and new technologies 27/02/2012 12:07:32
In his presentation, the journalist Godson Pierre, the main speaker of the forum outlined some principles related to New Information and communications technology (ICT) and Sustainable Development "To be sustainable, the development must take into account the principle of integration. A global and sectoral approach, who must consider simultaneously the various dimensions of its impact, both economically, socially and environmentally," also highlighting other principles, such as proximity, solidarity and responsibility "n Haiti, the situation is clear, factories only produce plastics and increase their economic income. While they do not care about the effects and secondary impacts on the environment," declared the reporter who asserts that "the development is not possible, if everyone does not assume its responsibilities." Speaking of ICT, Peter Godson, said he was aware of the importance and benefits of ICT in the context of global development. More than 2 billion people today use internet, according to the International Telecommunications Union (ITU). In 2000, only 500 million people had access to a phone and 250 million to internet. 10 years later, nearly 5 billion people have used a phone. These figures clearly show the evolution of a globalized world with new technologies, said the journalist who pointed out that in Haiti, from the year 2004, the number of Internet users was 80,000 while in 2011 this number was about 1 million, or 10% of population. Dieudonne Jean Laurent, President of CRED, at the end of this forum, told local press that this series of forums, was held within the framework of a process of dialogue between young people across the country, to develop with the various youth organizations, a synergy to influence the authorities to take steps to strengthen our institutions in society. A number one of CRED which calls for stability in the country, intends to pursue the goal of his institution. He estimates that Haiti needs now devoted young, mature and integrated, capable of influencing the country's leaders to act in the interests of the Nation. After the forum of the department of South-East, the North, including the city of Cap Haitien, will be the next beneficiary department. Nikenson Saint-Jean, ice President of CRED, have given a formal guarantee to the participants that at the end of these forums, a document will be developed with the demands of young and will be presented to government at all levels. The results of this work will be a plea to require managers of the country, to assume their responsibilities vis-à-vis the population, especially young people who constitute the majority. The project coordinator has announced the organization of a national forum in Port-au-Prince, on March 24. The CRED has the technical support of the human rights organization and Democracy, in the organization of its forums.
