The German government-owned Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (giz.de) has recently published a Manual and an accompanying Toolbox on 'IT Sector Promotion in Developing and Emerging Countries'. These publications address the challenge of maximising the contribution of the IT industry in such countries towards growth and income generation. Both the Manual and the Toolbox are based on German development cooperation experience in promoting IT sectors in several regions (like the Balkans region, Latin America, Subsaharan Africa and Southeast Asia). Moreover, they contain a methodology and a set of practical tools to promote the IT industry in developing and emerging countries. Last, but not least, a strategic roadmap for IT sector promotion is provided, which can be flexibly adapted to possible changes in resources, global markets and technologies.
