This Workshop is dedicated to harnessing ICTs for the development of marginalized communities in OIC Member States. It aims to bridge the current gap in ICT provision for education, particularly for the marginalized, elderly, and disabled individuals who have been isolated until now. Through interactive sessions, including presentations, panel discussions, and open floor debates, the Workshop seeks to address crucial topics such as accessibility policies, government support, and infrastructure availability. It emphasizes disseminating knowledge to uplift the most affected individuals through ICT implementation. The workshop contributes to evaluating human resources in marginalized communities, integrating ICTs to enhance their quality of life. It supports indigenous capabilities, self-sufficiency, and effective institutional structures, fostering collaboration among stakeholders for strategic ICT programs.
