The "Youth, ICTs and Digital Opportunities" portal was launched on 1 February 2002 to enable young people from around the world to share their experiences on how ICTs can further development. The site features news, people, events, organizations and online discussions about closing the digital divide.
Through these interactive features, it aims to foster a global network of young social entrepreneurs on the cutting edge of applying old and new communication technologies to confront the challenges of sustainable development.
