Abstract

Among the many implications for development of the global revolution in Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is the possibility of using ICTs to assist policy makers. This paper reflects on the author's experience drafting the policy modules of the 'Livestock-Environment Toolbox.' Using an electronic web-based format for the Toolbox allowed it to be highly compact and non-linear, while remaining accessible through Web and CD-ROM versions. Some policy issues for the application of ICTs are raised: no field of policy is self-contained. There are trade-offs between global outreach and regional specificity, and between participation and authority. The electronic dissemination of policy information must be supported through training and capacity-building. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
