Sommet mondial sur la société de l'information
World summit on the information society
Genève 2003 - Tunis 2005

Sri Lanka believes that the information society should "encompass the vast majority, if not all the people". The country has a literacy rate of 92 % and, therefore, its citizens are people aware of how information and communication technologies could improve their lives. The successive Sri Lankan governments, in the last half-century, implemented a consistent policy of promotion of equal access to education and health services. For the initial push of technology, the use of native languages and a technology training are essential. Connection in Sri Lanka is desirable, however only 60 % of Sri Lankan households have electricity. The right to freedom of information is necessary for the construction of a participatory democracy. ICTs, by helping to increase access to information and to improve transparency and accountability, can play a role in enhancing good governance in Sri Lanka, as the lack of communication and of access to information could lead to ethnic conflicts in Sri Lanka.
