KOTA KINABALU: Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can assist the state government to narrow the digital divide in Sabah.
State Resource Development and Information Technology
Minister Datuk Siringan Gubat said the information communication
technology-related training programme organised by the Sabah Women
Entrepreneurs and Professionals Association (Swepa) over the weekend was
an example of how a more ICT-savvy community could be created.
"Swepa worked closely with Sabah Computer Society in making
this training a success. The cooperation between these two should be
emulated by other NGOs.
"While they trained members and participants, they had inadvertently helped to raise the level of ICT knowledge.
"It is a clear indication that the government is able to
work with NGOs to facilitate in the growth of the ICT sector in Sabah,"
he said when closing the "Basic Usage on Mobile Tablets in IOS and
Android" here, yesterday.
This is very good initiative because in reaching the Vision 2020, the digital divide must be reduce.
