Information and communication technology (ICT) have
an important role to play in education and global communication.
OVF is an international digital development strategy
and promotion group providing services and consultation
to empower the not-for-profit community-based organizations.
We promote infrastructure building for communication,
social development, and the built enviornment facilitating
that is whole systems oriented. OVF provides consultation
on the whole systems approach to empower
institutions and communities all over the world to build
sustainable communities.
Pip Coburn technology evaluation strategist in UBS
Bank said in a CNBC interview that, "We're no longer
in the age of information, we're in the age of integration,"
figuring out how to make effective use of all this stuff
that we have. The role of technology integrators
is to develop materials and consulting services to help
people and organizations doing a needs-analysis using
available knowledge bases. When organizations integrate
a multiple and complex array of services into one simple
to access package, that does several tasks those ventures
gain an economic advantage over systems that are not
integrated.
The social enterprise platform integrates
existing highly innovatively emergent services and technologies
that are not commonly known or availible to create a
whole suite of technology financial and human development
services that will help local communities to build capacity
from a whole systems perspective. Understanding the
ecological limits to growth we take the idea of sustainable
development seriously. An important part of our mission
is to demonstrate how people can live a high quality
of life without a high consumption lifestyle.
The oneVillage
Initiative, is designed to increase access to
ICT in underserved communities, advocating and promoting
infrastructure building for communication, facilitating
local content creation and dissemination, and the building
of dignified digital communities. The Initiative involves
the deployment of Unity Centers which will provide a
whole range of capacity building services to local communities.
In addition OVF will also provide services to the development
community that promote more collaboration and whole
systems thinking, which we feel is central to the success
of the sustainability movement.
