About Me   About Me
Hello, This is Md. Akteruzzaman, you can simply call me "Zaman". I involve in the field of ICT for Development Profession and also work with youth community of Bangladesh. On 2001, I first introduced multimedia digital magazine in Bangladesh. Now I am working for ICT4D and as a multimedia consultant I am working with several national and international projects simultaniously. And will happy...if I can contribute any project required multimedia consultancy specially related to TIG or youth. After attending WSIS Geneva event, I start Bangladesh Youth Forum to represent Bangladeshi Youth Globally.We alreay enlisted 2000 youth member and hosting many youth activities locally. I attend and speak several international events including UN WSIS Phase I, Global ICT Summit, International Youth Summit, etc.

As a person, I love travelling and feel friendly with new culture and new friends. Most of the time I always busy with my computer... making design, learning new tools and dispatch tutorial.... I dream a new youth friendly world where I found all the youth treated equally and they are getting full access of technology.

I am realy worried about limitation of access by 90% youth of the developing countries like Bangladesh and I sincerely involve my time, effort and skill to improve this situation.

As a youth I feel that young people constitute the largest percentage of online: we go online more than anyone else, we stay online longer, and we have more diverse online activities. Yet, youth are rarely given the opportunity to be engaged in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) policy development. If the WSIS is to effect real change, it must involve youth in program/project implementation as well as in the broader context of youth participation and multi-stakeholder consultation in ICT decision-making such as Internet Governance and national e-strategies.

I sincerely expect that we should have a chance to speak our "youth" views in perspect of developing and developed country's youth to make people centered and active youth policy.
