Dear Anton:
===========

(1)  Many thanks for your msg (ATTACHMENT I).

PHILIPPINES
***********

Dear Ofelia:
============

(2)  Pls visit <http://www.infodev.org/ereadiness/> mentioned in ATTACHMENT
     I ASAP, and decide if your PUP-ICTC (ATTACHMENT II) would be willing
     to submit a grant application to this Request For Proposal (RFP).

          There are two kinds;

     (a)  InfoDev ICT Infrastructure and E-Readiness Assessments,

               average $50,000     no deadline, but depend on the fund
                                   availability,

     (b)  Facilitation Center to Support InfoDev's ICT Infrastructure and
          E-Readiness Assessment Initiative

               up to $250,000      deadline on March 1, 2001

     This infoDev program is similar direction as our GLOSAS project
     (ATTACHMENT III) -- as mentioned to you before in Sao Paulo last
     August and at your office last October.

     For your establishing the GUS/Philippines with GBI, we plan to conduct
     site survey, feasibility study, market survey, design of
     administrative structure, etc. at the large workshop in the future
     about which planning we will discuss during our mini-workshop at your
     PUP-ICTC in Manila in this coming fall (though still tentative yet)
     (*).  And, your ICTC may very well be an eligible organization for
     this program.

          (*)  See my list distribution of last night which was titled
           DRAFT/Grant application to NSF for Manila mini-workshop."  You
          can retrieve this by visiting the URL mentioned at the top of
          this msg.

     Namely, this infoDev program is one step ahead of our project so that
     I strongly encourage your participation in it.  Also, the funding of
     your large workshop in Manila in the future is to be applied to the
     infoDev, anyway.

          Incidentally, Mr. Chaudhry told me that Marcos University has
          already submitted their proposal, but they have not evaluated
          yet.  He would very much like to have your proposal as soon as
          possible, so that he can decide what to do for the Philippines. 
          Pls firstly email him your intention ASAP, prior to your
          submitting your application -- pls copy me your msgs to him so
          that we may be able to help you.

          Mr. Chaudhry told me that  the sooner is the better" for your
          application, since the total fund is limited, i.e., if the fund
          will be exhausted, some country may not receive even though
          their application is good.

     Dear Ralph and Jesus:

1988   An amount of P50 million (about US$1 million) was granted by President
Joseph Ejercito Estrada to build the ICT Center.  This is the President's way
of helping the 52,000 economically challenged students, to give them equal
access to information.

1999   ICTC was endorsed by the Information Technology Foundation of the
Philippines (ITFP) as the implementing program of IT21.

February 2000   CHED named PUP as one of the Centers for Development of
Excellence (CODE) in IT.

March 2000   DOST included PUP as one of the Virtual Centers for Technology
Innovation in IT (VCTI-IT).

April 2000   ICTC started operation.

May 2000- PUP declared as an IT Zone

Government Technology Education Center (GTEC).  PUP-ICTC is authorized to
administer certification exams for Microsoft solutions.

RECENT INITIATIVES:

PUP has applied with Philippine Economic Zone Authority to recognize PUP-ICTC
as the first Cyber University Information Technology (IT) Park in the
Philippines.  This intends to convert the university's 10.37 hectare main
campus in Manila into an IT park.  To date, only 4 IT park have so far been
accredited by PEZA.  The PUP cyberpark hopes to forge a closer linkage
between university researches and the industry. 

The PUP and DOST have also agreed to formulate the plan for the establishment
of the PUP cyberpark.

The PUP Board of Regents has recently approved the connection of the main
building to the PUP ICTC, a project costing P1.2 million (about US$24,000).

Dear Prof. Tak Utsumi,

I have been requested by the President/Founder of the African Refugees
Foundation (AREF), Ambassador Segun Olusola, to contact you on the
possibility of AREF participating in the GUS project.

I live in Finland and an adviser to AREF on academic and project issues.
Afterconsulting with Ambassador Olusola and other colleagues that render
their services to AREF, it is concluded that AREF will like to contribute to
the project. AREF will like to focus on developing a distance learning for
Peace and Human Rights Education in Africa. We have an AREF/LASU Centre for
Refugee Studies in the Lagos State University, Nigeria. The higher
institution could serve as a base for our project. I have just returned from
West Africa.

Please let me know quickly what you think AREF should do for its services to
be of use to the project.

I would suggest that you copy mails coming to me to the Founder/President of
AREF - aref@skannet.com.ng      I think you have the e-mail address on your
list already.

Thank you and I wait to hear from you soon.

regads,
Dr. Kolawole Raheem
