March 3, 2011

The 5th Annual e-Gov Africa Forum 2011is taking place on March 1-3, 2011 in Yaounde (Cameroon).

At a time when ICTs are defining the way the world lives and conducts business, it is important for 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.

Among the key topic of the event, organised by the Commonwealth Telecommuncations Organisation (CTO) under the theme “Effective Public Service Delivery through ICTs” there are: 1./ e-Gov policy and regulations; 2./ e-Gov implementation initiatives and challenges; 3./ Building infrastructure; 4./ Deploying cost-effective technologies and solutions; 5./ Capacity-building for e-services provision.
