How do we connect generations through ICT in promoting the values of the MDGs?
*A series of initiatives should be planned with GAID to
communicate to young people
what the MDGs are.
*Understanding what the MDGs can lead to participation of ordinary people at the local
level in achieving the MDGs.
*From the local level
understanding and support, policy can be developed.
*ICT can help to close the gap between governments, NGOs
and socially-responsible
business.
*Closing the gap will enable the socially -responsible private sector companies to
participate.
*A way to quantify success without creating a "winner-loser"
outcome for countries
needs to be developed.
*There needs to be a rethinking for "popularizing" the achievement of the MDGs, since
their popularization needs to come from the ground-up.

How can the various international communities build the values underlining the
MDGs into the creation of policy at all levels?
*The ultimate goal of the MDGs is to create peace. *Achieving the MDGs by 2015
would position the UN as the House of Peace for all people. *Departments of Peace
within national governments can help to do this . *The use
of ICT can help to raise
awareness for such a post. *All countries should seek mechanisms to reach the policy
goal of 0.7% of Gross National Product (GNP) for Official
Development Assistance and
aim this money toward the MDGs. *ICT can help increase the participation of youth in
communicating to them the role of core values.
