The Stockholm Challenge - over a decade of success
The Stockholm Challenge is a pioneer among ICT awards and networking organisations,
So far the Stockholm Challenge has brought together over 5,000 ICT projects from all over the world, many of whom are active in lasting and growing networks.
The over all goal of the Stockholm Challenge is to help counteract social and economic disadvantage, wherever it occurs, by promoting the use of ICT for development. It is mostly targeted towards developing regions and community or social sectors such as gender equality and minorities with the greatest needs. The award invites projects in six different categories:
• Public Administration
• Education
• Economic Development
• Culture
• Health
• Environment
What about Stockholm Challenge Award 2008
The Challenge programme 2008 has been targeting ICT for Development projects globally. Great efforts have been put into the search for excellent examples of information and communication technologies that show convincing benefits to people and communities, wide impact and proofs of future sustainability.

"The standard of the projects in the Stockholm Challenge Award this year is better than ever", says project manager Ulla Skid鮠and adds: "the criteria for participation have been set to a higher level compared to earlier years. Participants needed to more clearly demonstrate social impacts and sustainability with their projects in 2008. This resulted in 145 exceptional projects from more than 50 countries.
