1st October 2007, Geneva, Switzerland: The ICT4Peace Foundation is pleased to announce the new partnership between the ICT4Peace Foundation and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), through the Global Symposium +5 ‘Information for Humanitarian Action’ event and the ICT4Peace: An International Process for Crisis Management process.

The ICT4Peace process and Global Symposium +5 share the common objective of mobilising the international community within its respective areas and to seek member state commitment by way of United Nations General Assembly endorsement. By forming this timely partnership, the two initiatives will strengthen their individual purposes by working towards one common Declaration.

The ICT4Peace Foundation believes this partnership is an excellent opportunity to link OCHA and the Humanitarian Information Network with the Foundation’s global thought-leadership and work in promoting Information and Communication Technology in international crisis management, humanitarian aid and peace building.

For more details on the ICT4Peace Foundation’s work, please read our mission statement.

We encourage you to get in touch with the Foundation to find out more about the ICT4Peace process. Please email Mr. Daniel Stauffacher, Chairman of the ICT4Peace Foundation, at danielstauffacher@ict4peace.org.
