Panos seeks to offer a number of fellowship grants to journalists or development experts to research and write articles in national and international media on ICTs and their development impact. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are recognised as a powerful tool to facilitate social development. The flow of information towards the poorest should increase, if poverty is to be reduced. ICTs greatly facilitate the flow of information and knowledge offering the socially-marginalised and the poorest of the poor unprecedented opportunities to assert their own entitlements.
