Supporting Multistakeholder Internet Public Policy Dialogue in a Least Developed Country: The Togo Experience. IISD:Canada. Available at: <a href="http://www.iisd.org/publications/pub.aspx?pno=1683" target="_blank">http://www.iisd.org/publications/pub.aspx?pno=1683</a>.<br><br>This case study for Togo, a least developed country, illustrates how multistakeholder dialogue can identify priorities and challenges for the development and deployment of the Internet in support of the country's economic, social and environmental needs.
