1. Strategic Overview, Plans and Activities (2012 – 2013)

2. Key Objectives of Phase 1: Team building: filling up vacant posts and creating a spirit of team work; Setting up the foundations for a strong, focused and relevant programme where we identified niche areas where KSD could have a significant impact; Identifying partners, communities of thought and practice. KSD Phase 1

3. Solidarity and team work; Ideas and innovation not budget and scarcity; Building networks and communities of thought and practice for sustainability; Strengthening intra-divisional, inter-divisional, inter-sectorial partnerships and activities; Strengthening coalitions with Field Offices; Building partnerships with the private sector and civil society; Objectives of Phase 2 – Overall Principles

4. The core elements of the programme will remain the same but need to be strengthened with a rigorous and strategic cost-cutting and fund-raising approach: 1) Events: Need to ensure the organization of a few high- profile international events in each biennium: 20 th anniversary of the MOW programme (2012); World digital preservation conference (2012); World OER conference (2012); Netexplo forum (2012); WSIS Review Forum (2013). These events must be adequately funded and resourced in order to have the necessary impact. Programme for the Biennium (2012-2013)

5. 2) Key Programmatic Lines: A) ICT Platforms: need to build content, promote awareness, build communities: OER Platform; GOAP; FOSS/OTP. B) ICT in Education: identify niche areas and partnerships to strengthen our work in this area: ICT Competency Framework for Teachers; E-learning; M-learning. Programme for the Biennium (2012-2013)

6. C) MOW and Digital Preservation: this programme will constitute one of our key areas and must be strengthened: MOW 20 th anniversary and analysis of the programme; Digital preservation conference; Strengthening niche activities in the space of libraries and archives, including WDL; D) Expanding access to cyberspace through our programme on multilingualism and disabilities; E) IFAP: step-up the programme and its activities with additional resources where possible(prepare for 2013 review); F) WSIS follow-up and review: complete the matrix of WSIS action lines and prepare for 2013 review event. Programme for the Biennium (2012-2013)

7. The current financial situation will oblige us to: Reduce programme areas, develop a much more strategic approach, cut all unnecessary costs; Develop synergies with field colleagues on programmatic activities (synergies on programme delivery and cost sharing); Develop partnerships and find innovative ways to enhance our impact; Generate significant extra-budgetary resources to complement our weak RP situation. Additional Elements

8. Leverage extra-budgetary resources to: amplify the impact of regular programme activities; strengthen emerging areas of our programme (i.e, mobile space and platforms for education and access to information and knowledge) ; cross-fertilise resources with RP funds for enhancing impact; JUSTIFY OUR EXISTENCE and that of our great Organization Extra-budgetary Resources
