CANTO's Director - Opal Neil Seeks to Empower
People to use ICTs Smartly
Opal Neil is a Regulatory Affairs Director at Cable and Wireless Communications.
"
My personal vision for CANTO is aligned with
the stated vision. In actualizing this vision for me it is about CANTO using its unique position to influence the adoption of policies that go beyond providing access to people across the region. It extends to influencing the development of an ecosystem so ICTs will have positive and sustainable socio economic impacts. My vision is that the average citizen will be equipped to use ICTs to acquire information and knowledge, to develop skills and competencies, to create employment ... essentially to fully participate in the opportunities made possible in this information age. In short, empowering people in all walks of life to use ICTs smartly for their own social and economic development. The end result being the social and economic development of countries and the region as a whole.
