[AISWorld] Online ICT and Governance Policy Dialogue

[Richard Boateng]

*Online ICT and Governance Policy Dialogue*

As part of the Africa Digital Week 2011, we are organizing an Online ICT and
Governance Policy Dialogue. This policy dialogue seeks to provide a forum
for policymakers, academics and civic society to explore how information and
communication technologies can be harnessed to support good governance in
Africa.

The objective is to create an opportunity for citizens, Africans in
particular, to engage with policy makers in the formulation of e-governance
policies and initiatives and assessment of the public value of current
e-governance efforts by African governments. The premise of the discussion
is situated on an on-going e-governance mapping study by the Africa
egovernance Academy, the African Institute for Development Informatics and
Policy and United Nations Development Programme, Ghana.

The findings of a review of research on e-governance are outlined in a
concept note (http://goo.gl/G8isV). Based on this review a number of
questions are positioned for discussion in this onlineICT dialogue, from
1-29 July 2011. The key conclusions and lessons will be discussed at a forum
during the conference on the 28 July 2011. Join the discussion at:
