Vision
South Asia Regional Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing for Equitable Growth and Prosperity
Mission
The SARC program is a series of sector-specific dialogues focused on collaboration and knowledge sharing among the eight South Asian countries. The chosen sectors incorporate country perspectives and regional dimensions, sustainable growth and development, and advancement of innovative ideas within the region to promote intra-regional or inter-regional projects. The GDLN videoconferences and virtual knowledge platforms (Wikis) work as open-source collaborative tools, allowing the participants to exploit opportunities within each country and the region, promoting innovation and growth within each area of focus.
Objectives
SASFP is able to bring to bear on all the missions, its knowledge and networks into a discussion on actionable ideas to create a ‘community of practice’ which will continue to build cooperation at several formal and informal levels. The fact that Public Private Partnerships PPP and IT related services are the underlying basis to leverage capabilities available in the region grants SASFP a unique position in facilitating these initiatives. IT enabled partnerships have the potential to become an area of collaboration which may overcome some of the political and social paradigms that have acted as barriers in the past.
Below you may select from the three 2009 videoconferences. These pilot programs developed the knowledge network we are incorporating in Phase II.

The open source wiki is intended to be a platform for collective intelligence and knowledge management system. As it dynamically evolved we have created a simple image to display its purpose: Site Map
