Abstract
Colombia has implemented various strategies to develop an Information Society —IS— aiming to improve economic growth and citizen participation. In order to better understand these actions, three analyses were proposed: i) supporting sectors of society; ii) the target population; and iii) the elements of e-inclusion, i.e. elements that allow the inclusion of the population in the IS. The results show that the sectors supported are: education, government, competitiveness, and culture; citizens are the target population of Colombian initiatives; specifically, there are four initiatives which target three vulnerable population groups: ethnic minorities, disabled people, and low income groups; and the efforts of the Colombian government have focused on a creating the conditions necessary for developing IS.
