Christiane good point empowerment is one of the key factors, all need to be aware of and respect the traditions and cultures of each community that ICTs can help the development of each community, but new needs of the modern world are not imposed on i infer intrinsic decisions of each community.
Nicaragua have some experience in indigenous communities
in terms of community forestry, there have been projects in the north Atlantic coast of the country, community leaders are trained for community management of forests, on issues such as conformation of small forest enterprises, administrative training, use of computers, emails, appropriate use of ICT to market their products, capcitacion in forest management and use,

hi friends of the world , is nice to be part of this initiative of this forum, all the topics and experience of all is really precious, we got less experience in Nicaragua about ICT and rural development , but we are in the beginning, is so important ICT for the ensure food to the farmer and his family, is important the e-learning, for the e-agriculture, for the e-medicine, e-education and to protect the enviroment.
if we focus just in agriculture is good, people have to eat but dont forget of the Agroforestry is more complete, we have to prodcue water, O2, catch CO2, natural medicine, protect soil for the agriculture, the policy in each contry have to change no just produce food.
in Nicaragua we trying to do comunitary forestry, the forest give an other products to survive .
the big explotion of telecomunication dont have to be just for fun the humankind need to change the paradigma of life, more friendly with the enviroment, remember behind the ICT is a trace of pollution from weird (heavies) metal, that the reason why ICT have to be used for humanking and eviromental development
