Botswana Thetha ICT Discussion Forum

The Botswana Thetha ICT Discussion Forum will be held on 10 March 2010 at the Gaborone Sun in Gaborone, Botswana.

The event forms part of a series of regional events that SANGONeT is hosting in Zimbabwe, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia and Botswana. Organised and implemented in conjunction with the Department of Library & Information Studies at the University of Botswana, the Botswana event will bring together various ICT stakeholders, including representatives from government, ICT industry, NGOs and the donor community, to discuss key “ICT for Development (ICT4D)” challenges and opportunities relevant to the future development of Botswana.

Discussions at the event will be informed by a research report, "Towards an Information Society in Botswana", which was compiled by researchers as the Department of Library & Information Studies at the University of Botswana.
