Review

Banner

"I think the project is really helpful. This type of initiatives contributes in the development of our countries. the articles are sources of information to our Society and to our policymakers, they can use it and obtain ideas and apply them in our countries based in our reality. Also the report give us an image of whats happening in other regions."
- Krizia Matthews, IPANDETEC Panama- GISWatch author
"I think GISWatch is valuable for researchers and activists to take a view of general global situation and compare the situation of each country."
- Byoung-il Oh, Korean Progressive Network Jinbonet, South Korea
"GISWatch is a unique experience, I think. Don´t know if there is a similar project in other fields. Having each year the possibility of tackling a particular issue of the field of rights and ICT, convoquing experts to analyse it from different perspectives and counting with about 50 countries in each edition, to get down that analysis to each particular territory is very valuable."
- Florencia Roveri, Nodo TAU, Argentina
