Document Actionse-Co HubThe e-Collaborative Hub or E-CO HUB is a single-entry online gateway for policy makers, trainers and practitioners to easily access and search for relevant knowledge resources on different aspects of ICT for development (ICT4D). There is also a collaborative workspace to discuss views, share ideas and collaborate on projects related to ICT4D. There can be no development without peace and there will only be slow development without ICTs. Hence, the need to understand and use ICTs appropriately and meaningfully to meet the Millennium Development Goals and Targets.- Usha Rani Vyasulu Reddi, Professor in Education and Director of the Centre for Human Development, Administrative Staff College of India
