The ICT Best Practices Forum - West and Central Africa
The first ICT Best Practices Forum will be held the 7th through the 9th of June, 2007 in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.
In Africa, the level of interest in technology solutions to critical development challenges is high. At the same time, there is an essential need to accelerate the penetration and application of technology on the continent, particularly at the public sector level. Based on feedback received from government leaders and donor institutions, the best way to achieve this objective is to provide the conditions necessary for African governments and advisory institutions to share their own best practices, subsequently creating a roadmap for the future. In this way, African leaders and the institutions that support them can assist in improving efficiency and effectiveness of public sector institutions through the use of technology, creating the enabling environment for Africa to increase its own competitiveness.
