Action Plan: Ongoing consultation program with digital partners
(ministries,
institutions, active NGOs )
Define specific e-facilitation services for e-skills for each
area of ICT interventions (e-education, e-culture, e-health,
e-inclusion) including establishing partners/actors that can be
involved, develop guidelines, open data e-learning modules, cloud
computing systems applicable, performance Indicators
Involvement of telecenters (PAPI) and other identified
institutions in providing ICT services (ex. e-government)
Monitor the level and quality based on specific indicators
set
Regulate the e-facilitator status recognizable in the labour
market by creating an occupational standard / national accredited
training programs for e- facilitators
Initiation type competitions nationwide digital champion for
each area of ICT intervention.
In 2012, the rate of absolute poverty in urban environment was
of 2.4%, whereas that of rural environment was of 7.4%. The number
of individuals with disabilities in Romania reached in 2012 about
690,000, out of which 8.8% are children and 91.2% adults. In the
first quarter of 2012, only 27,000 people with disabilities were
employed, representing less than 4% of all the people with
disabilities in Romania. Although the tendency of increase of the
number of individuals using internet to search for information and
support of educational process is obvious, the percentages
registered in Romania in 2010 are almost half opposite to the
average of UE27 (17% comparatively to 32%).
The above table shows that differences in using ICT between
urban and rural tend to diminish, and rate of using computers in
rural areas increases faster than in urban areas due to reduction
of prices of computers in recent years and increase of awareness of
benefits offered by ICT among rural youth.
E-Inclusion can be achieved in two ways: providing access to ICT
equipment and networks and providing ICT skills development
trainings.

Wait for a final version to publish Publish early, often
updated
Scarcity of information Plenty of information
Sale of the product (right to use) Selling the service around
the product
(coaching time)
High copy costs, limit to innovation due to
exclusivity (copyright with exclusivity clause,
patents, licenses...)
Costs of copy almost zero, opportunity to
adopt socio-economic models of free licenses
(copyleft, freemium, crowdsource...)
Masterful training, ex-cathedra, formal,
competitive
Training by peers, informal and non-formal,
by action, iterative
Leaders chosen among peers because of
diplomas, their status, their power to influence
(comply with studies then be obeyed at work)
Selected leaders among peers because of the
quality and quantity of their contributions
and cooperation, their results, their merit
(shine or disappear)
