Report of the subcommittee on information and communication technologies (ICTs)
The report of the Expert Review Workshop on "ICTs for Employment and Poverty Alleviation in Africa" that was held on 30 April 2007 was presented to the sub-committee. It is disseminated as a separate document. The study was a joint study by ITU, ILO and the ECA. The expert review workshop received three opening statements and two presentations (overall findings and country case studies). The two specific objectives of the study were to examine the ICT sector as a major contributor to employment generation, and ICT as an enabler that could boost productivity of other sectors and create jobs in other sectors of the economy. The discussions and recommendations focused on data accuracy, methodology, sector liberalization, viewpoint of trade unions, the ICT informal sector, the need for a template to present country findings, and the need for a model to represent the link between ICTs and employment.
