Did you know this was out there? I found it by complete accident. I
am always on the look out for e-democracy related materials from
places outside of the U.S. and Europe. Be sure to send in your

This research project will study the use of Internet by Central
American governments. In particular, it will examine whether and how
Internet use in the region facilitates democracy processes such as
transparency, citizen participation, accountability and equity.
The project is being implemented in cooperation with Fundacion
Acceso, and with support from the Canadian International Development
Agency's CIDA Awards Program for Canadians. It will complement
Acceso's work in the areas of evaluation and public policy. Acceso's
work on the social impacts of the Internet has produced monitoring
and evaluation methodologies for use by civil society organizations.
These approaches allow local groups to produce policy-relevant
information about local realities. A related, emerging project will
improve the capacity of civil society organizations to apply that
information to policy advocacy for more appropriate government uses
of the Internet. This project will complement this work by examining
how the Internet mediates the relationship between Central American
governments and citizens.
