Socioeconomic Reforms, Human Development, and the Millennium Development Goals with ICTs for Coordination

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) is an international effort engaging all countries and mainly the developing ones towards the reduction of health, education, and other deficits by 2015. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have contributed to this global undertaking through the creation of further coordination, evaluation, and monitoring. Their roles can be expanded to better coordinate local and national actions with the overall international efforts. Based mainly on previous findings from available literature, the present chapter illustrates how ICTs have been promoted to ensure these coordination functions.
