Generation and Dissemination of Local Content Using ICT for Sustainable Development:- Ozioko, R.E
ABSTRACT
Globally,
there has been an increasing emphasis on the local content generation. In
practice, there is scarce record of different cultural values, indigenous
knowledge ana heritage material especially in developing countries; unlike the
developed countries of the world which have the highest contribution of their
local content on the Internet hosts. The need for local content development is
quite crucial for sustainable national development. Locally generated content
is hardly visible at the Global Information Network (GIN). This rising concern
on the paucity of local content arises from its potential. Mutula (2007) noted
that Africa faces the problem of limited availability of information and
knowledge systems that address.African needs. This is as a result of the fact
that most consumption of information is external. On this note, the United
Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNICA)iindicated that surveys had shown
that Africa generates only 0.4% 'of global content, and if South Africa's
contribution was excluded, the figure would be a mere 0.02% (UNICA, 1999)
