African Stakeholders Network Meeting: Address by K.Y.Amoako executive secretary economic commission for Africa

Address by K.Y.Amoako Executive Secretary Economic Commission for Africa at the conference on African Stakeholders Network Meeting. Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, This Network was created to assist the Task Force in an important task, at a critical time in the development of an information society in Africa. Essentially, it must play a lead role in lobbying to ensure that UN-efforts to bridge the digital divide in Africa are better coordinated, more coherent and committed to knowledge sharing. We, at ECA, believe that the African Stakeholders Network provides a significant bridge between the work of the UN ICT Task Force and the AISI. This event is preceding the Committee on Development Information (CODI) meeting, which is one of seven technical committees established by the ECA Conference of Ministers to provide guidance to the Commission. CODI deals specifically with development information, including ICTs, statistics, libraries and geo-information, and generally ensures ECA's effective implementation of AISI.
