At a time when ICTs are defining the way the world lives and conducts business, it is important for African governments to evolve themselves to meet the demands of changing trends in order to deliver effective services and to improve their citizenry. This also requires the formation of Public Private Peoples Partnerships to be geared towards achieving developmental goals through the application of ICTs to governance (e-governance/e-government), electoral processes (e-democracy), food and nutrition (e-agriculture), health delivery (e-health/telemedicine), learning and capacity development (e-education) and trade (e-commerce), among others.
As part of its mandate to facilitate and promote ICT development through knowledge-sharing events, the Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO), in conjunction with the ICT Ministry of Mozambique, will be organising the 4th annual e-Governance Africa Forum 2010 in Maputo, Mozambique, from 23rd to 25th March, 2010.
The theme for this event is Effective Governance, transparent public services and citizen empowerment through Information and Communication Technologies.
Also on the agenda:
The Road to 4G Workshop
