Implementing the WSIS outcomes in Africa 2010
ICTs continue to play an increasingly important role in national, sub regional and regional development; and African Member States are increasingly seeking the support of ECA to develop policies for the use of e-applications in governance, education, health, agriculture, finance and trade through implementation of the WSIS outcomes in the framework of the African Information Society Initiative (AISI). Hence, the activities focused on supporting the formulation and implementation of national, sub regional and regional ICT and science and technology policies and strategies, integrating spatial data infrastructure and geoformation for sustainable development. There are presently 43 African countries with national ICT policies, 4 are in the process of developing an ICT policy; only 6 have not initiated ICT policy development. Top priorities of the ICT for Development strategies in those countries include infrastructure, education, e-government and human resource development.
