" Addressing the international digital divide is a key component in empowering people to address many different areas of human development, including health, education and environment. Access to information and communication technologies is ultimately about providing communities with greater choices and more access to critical tools and information. The contributions of volunteers worldwide will be paramount in the efforts to bridge the digital divide. The United Nations Volunteer programme (UNV) is proud to be associated with the Cisco Networking Academy Program, which fits well within our growing efforts to facilitate the assistance of volunteers to developing countries in building up their capacity on the uses and opportunities of ICT for human development."
