“NetAid Network Will Be Unprecedented in Scale and Integration

Centers Worldwide
Cisco Systems and the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP) announced today that they will deploy the largest scale
Internet technology and the most integrated combination of media
ever used to promote social change as part of NetAid, a long
term initiative to help end the growing problems of extreme poverty
around the world.”
“NetAid will mark the first time that the power of the Internet,
the reach of television and radio, and the energy and impact of
world class artists come together on a global scale to fight
extreme poverty, which affects more than one billion people who
live on less than one dollar per day. The NetAid web site,
www.netaid.org, will launch September 8.”
” ‘NetAid represents a powerful call to action for countries,
companies and people,’ said Don Listwin, executive vice president
of Cisco Systems. ‘Using the power of the Internet, NetAid will be
a lasting resource in the fight to end extreme poverty.’ “
