Information and communications are at the heart of human life and social development. People have always worked together by sharing information and knowledge through speech, writing, the printed word and, more recently, telephony and broadcasting. Sharing information empowers individuals and communities, and enables whole societies to benefit from the experience of everyone within them. This book aims to guide non-specialists through some policy issues and enable its readers to engage effectively with the decision-making process. It came about through a partnership developed between the Association for Progressive Communications, the leading international civil society group on ICT policy issues, and the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisations.

details		This book has been produced by the Association for Progressive Communications with funding via the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation from DFID's Building Digital Opportunities programme. Some of the material was adapted from APC's ICT Policy Curriculum (http://www.apc.org/english/capacity/policy/curriculum.shtml) but most was written specially for the book by Kate Wild, Russel Southwood, Natasha Primo, Paul Mobbs, Claire Sibthorpe and Chris Nicol (editor). The team of reviewers included Sonia Jorge, Anriette Esterhuysen, Carlos Afonso and Karen Banks. Additional editing by Ran Greenstein. Graphics were created by Matias Bervejillo and Piet Luthi (chapters 11 and 13). Special thanks to Karen Higgs and all those in APC (Heather, Danijela, PatchA and others) who helped with ideas, resources, and advice. Thanks also to David Souter, formerly at CTO, for his generous support, without which this book would not exist.
