<p>I realized i forgot to announce the organization of the <a href="http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/01/MW4D_WS/">fourth workshop on Mobile and Web Technologies for Social and Economic Development</a>.</p>
<p>This event will take place in <strong>Dar es Salam, Tanzania, 4-5 June 2011</strong>. This event is co-organized by W3C and <a href="http://www.webfoundation.org">the Web Foundation</a>. A <a href="http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/01/MW4D_WS/">call for participation</a> has been issued last February, and submission of statements of interest is open till April 15 2011.</p>
<p>Like for the <a href="http://www.w3.org/2008/MW4D/#workshops">three previous instances</a>, we also have a <a href="http://public.webfoundation.org/2011/01/MW4D_WS/sponsors.html">call for sponsors</a> in order to offer travel grants to enable NGOs and field experts to attend and share their experience. If you are interested, feel free to contact <a href="mailto:boyera@w3.org">Stephane Boyera</a>.</p>

<p>The MW4D IG has published the following documents:</p>
<ul>
<li>08 December 2009: <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/NOTE-mw4d-roadmap-20091208/">Mobile Web for Social Development Roadmap (HTML version)</a>

<p>There is also a set of ressources relevant to the activity of the MW4D and which have been developped by W3C since 2006:</p>

<h3 id="why">Reasons for joining</h3>
<p>The objective of MW4D IG is to gather all stakeholders in a global forum in order to identify the key challenges of using mobile phones as an ICT-platform in Developing regions.</p>
<p>The targeted players are Web experts, Mobile specialists, Academics from Developed and Developing regions, NGOs with field expertise, and International organizations working on reducing the Digital Divide. W3C believes that only a joint coordinated
action could lead to the identification of all challenges and also to
the identification of the right actions to be launched to have a real
impact. The MW4D IG, while not limited to these topics, will investigate the following areas:</p>
<ul>
<li> technical issues related to the mean of deployment (sms, voice, web,...)</li>
<li> technical issues related to accessibility for illiterate people, people without technological background, people without prior dewsktop experience,...</li>
<li> technical issues related to specific types of applications (m-health, mgov, ...)</li>
<li> Social issues: how to capture the real needs from the targeted populations, how to have a bottom-up approach that will integrate NGOs into international organization agenda and work</li>
<li> Social issues related to empowerment: how to enable local people to master the technology to develop and deploy the applications they need, how to leverage local contant and applications development</li>
<li> Social issues related to sustainability, entrepreneurship, ...</li>
</ul>
<p>The following types of actors should be able to contribute to the mission of MW4D, and learn from other participants:</p>
<ul>
<li>Charitable Foundations funding and/or managing Development projects
using ICTs</li>
<li>Companies or Organizations providing ICT-related products, services,
content, applications or infrastructure in Developing Countries.</li>
<li>People with grassroots experience on the use of ICT in Development</li>
<li>People from the ICT for Development (ICT4D) domain</li>

<p>One of the MW4D IG objectives is to create an inter-disciplinary forum involving Web and Mobile experts, NGOs with field expertise and experience, academics from Developed and Developing regions, and International organizations involved in reducing the Digital Divide and providing services to under-privileged populations.
Some of these actors are not yet connected or working with W3C, and it is essential to outreach these communities. Organizing public workshops is one of the most easiest and effective ways of gathering people from different background at the same place, and agree of the issues.</p>
