eBrain Forum of Zambia presents Implementation Strategy
Oct 30 2007, Zambia [ZM]
The Ebrain Forum of Zambia in partnership with One World Africa began a process earlier in the year to come up with a Civil Society input to the Government's ICT Policy Implementation Strategy.
The eBrain Forum of Zambia is an IICD
supported national knowledge-sharing community on the use of
ICTs to foster social and economic development.
The process began with an online discussion forum which was moderated
by Mr. Noyoo Wamupu of ZAA-ICT. The report from the online discussion
was then used as a major input to the one day policy strategy seminar
held at Cresta golf view hotel on the 9th of August, 2007.
A consultant was engaged to receive all submissions from the seminar and to compile a comprehensive strategy document to be submitted to the governemnt of Zambia through the Ministry of Communications & Transport.
On Friday 26th October, 2007, the Programmes & Information Officer, Mr. Sebastian Musonda together with the Ebrain Publicity Chairperson, Ms. Jane Simwinga presented the document which represented not only the civil society input but also the private sector as well as general public to the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry.
