Third meeting of the Committee on Development Information (CODI): Address by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA)

Address by K.Y. Amoako, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) at the Third meeting of the Committee on Development Information (CODI). Mr. Amoako, on his remarks highlighted that, this is the third meeting under the theme of "Information for Governance". This theme was chosen because the prevailing discourse in Africa is on Governance. Some of the issues being addressed in the governance discourse deal with decentralization of administrative systems, transparent public financial management, the role of the private sector and other non-governmental groups. On policy, we are working with governments to develop appropriate policies and National Information and Communication Infrastructure plans (NICI). Apart from national policies, ECA is also working with Member States in developing sectoral plans, in particular e-government. Government information can be made available to the public more readily through ICT.
