ADOC e-Care Center

1. For Women: The course planning has divided into two major categories --increasing employment opportunities and Internetⁱ learning. For instance, learning Microsoft Office can help women to create more job opportunities, and entrepreneurship guidance is ideal for women's groups. As for many programs held by many other ADOCⁱ partner members their women's groups, the results have been magnificent. In addition, Internet learning program can help women understand the advantages of Internet technology and use the Internet to gain more knowledge. 

2. For the Handicapped: The course planning has divided into two major categories --learning information and communication technology (ICT) and increasing employment opportunities.

The ADOCⁱ Secretariat had held the opening ceremony of ADOC e-Project Teaching in Hanoi on May 22-24, 2006. The major purpose of this project is to train ICT personnel. Chinese Taipei provided the experts who had enhanced the IT resources for the e-training courses.

For practically assisting ADOCⁱ partner member economies to reducing the 'Digital Divideⁱ', ADOC plans to make arrangements with every partner office in local needs and possible local NGO resources which might be involved. Combine the industrial, official and academic resources to select two partner member economies  and each of them will set up an 'ADOC e-Care Center' in appropriate location to help local underprivileged groups of people (including elders, children, women, physically/mentally handicapped, etc.) to cultivate IT capacity and use IT to improve the quality of life.
