GONZALEZ ZABALA, Mayda Patricia  and  SANCHEZ TORRES, Jenny Marcela. Analysis of Information Society Inclusion Strategies of the Colombian Government Proposed Between 2000 and 2011. rev.estud.soc. [online]. 2013, n.47, pp.133-146. ISSN 0123-885X.

Colombia has implemented various strategies to develop an Information Society -IS- aiming to improve economic growth and citizen participation. In order to better understand these actions, three analyses were proposed: i) supporting sectors of society; ii) the target population; and iii) the elements of e-inclusion, i.e. elements that allow the inclusion of the population in the IS. The results show that the sectors supported are: education, government, competitiveness, and culture; citizens are the target population of Colombian initiatives; specifically, there are four initiatives which target three vulnerable population groups: ethnic minorities, disabled people, and low income groups; and the efforts of the Colombian government have focused on a creating the conditions necessary for developing IS.

Keywords : Information society; strategies,; e-inclusion; Colombian government; analysis.
