 What is It

Read the following definition of terms to familiarize them.

The word ‘advocacy’ has different meanings for different people in different
world views. People understand ‘advocacy’ in accordance with their experiences,
their worldview, their language and their culture. Some people will see advocacy as
beneficial, but other people may have had bad experiences and see advocacy as
something to avoid. Assuming that another person understands ‘advocacy’ in the
same way as we do can sometimes lead to miscommunication, so it is important to
clarify a common understanding. There is no single correct interpretation of the
word ‘advocacy’. Tearfund defines ‘advocacy’ as: ‘Influencing the decisions, policies,
and practices of powerful decision-makers, to address underlying causes of
poverty, bring justice, and support good development.’ In some contexts it is risky
to talk about ‘advocacy’ and in some languages there is no equivalent word. In
these situations, it may be appropriate to find an alternative phrase, which has the
same meaning in that particular context.

Advocacy is a process of supporting and enabling people to: Express their views and
concerns. Access information and services. Defend and promote their rights and
responsibilities.

ICT denotes about all technology innovations that was centered to maximize the
potential use of telecommunication systems with all its various forms. Designates
the union of numerous technological advantages through a cabling system that
transmits diverse data and communication types, formats, and platforms.

ICT, Human Development and country defined as the new social morphology of our
society. Enables the exchange, the redirection, and the reception of information, on
a global scale without restrains of space or time.

Intentionally, the spread and appropriation of ICTs has been a key dimension of
globalization, urging societies to build communication systems, manage them well;
develop infrastructure and capacity to use it, and implement good policy and
regulation.

Enhances learning and fills a large gap by encouraging distant learning.

Information Age suggests we are moving beyond the Industrial Age into an era where
the sharing of knowledge and ideas is the new driver of power and world economy.
ICT, Empowerment and participation enhance the empowerment of civil society by
increasing their capacity to work as organized networks both within and beyond
borders.

ICTs can help improve empowerment and participation in policy debates by

increasing linkages to government processes to maintain government transparency
in turn developing of the citizen and promoting the use of ICT.

Describe how ICT tools and platforms have changed the way people communicate,
and how social change has been brought about by the use of ICTs.
