4th Annual e-Gov Africa Forum 2010

The Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO), in conjunction with the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Ministry of Mozambique, is organising the 4th annual e-Governance Africa Forum 2010 as part of its mandate to facilitate and promote ICT development through knowledge-sharing events.

According to the organisers, 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. Organised under the theme ‘Effective Governance, Transparent Public Services, and Citizen Empowerment Through Information and Communication Technologies’, the forum is designed to bring together key ICT authorities and stakeholders in both the public and private sectors to deliberate on matters affecting the implementation of ICT and e-Governance policy and regulatory frameworks.

Discussions at the forum will be based around the following topics:

Government policy and regulation
Private sector initiatives
Public Private Partnerships
Funding
Infrastructure
Technology
Service provision
Capacity building
Content generation
e-Gov and revenue generation
Empowering marginalised groups: women, youth, and rural communities
Practical case studies.

Dates: 23-26 March 2010

Location: Maputo, Mozambique
