Description

Summary
ICTs are a transversal tool to facilitate the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. That is why it seems important to reflect on how best to use them for African communities. The project aims to provide African civil society and all partners (African Governments, civil society, communities, private, Academia, International Organizations), an information system, consistent, centered on WSIS and ICTs activities related to the African continent. The goal is to inform, train and educate Africans on issues related to Internet governance, WSIS action lines, as part of a unique platform for Africa and African Diaspora. The platform will be also progressively establishing an observatory on ICTs and the ICT profile of each African country.
