New ICT Strategy 2012 
Released soon. Stay tuned! Thank you for you incredible support and feed back during our external consultations! The new Strategy will propose an approach for scaling up our support to client countries, using ICT to unleash innovation across the economy and grow local ICT industries, and address the remaining gaps in the connectivity agenda. The proposed Strategy of the World Bank Group focuses on three strategic directions:
• CONNECT: Maintain a focus on the connectivity agenda with an emphasis on high-speed Internet.
• INNOVATE: Increase support for the use of ICT to unleash innovation across the economy and for the growth of local ICT industries.
• TRANSFORM: Scale up support to client countries to use ICT to transform all areas of the economy.
