ICT policy advocacy workshop in July to kick-start policy actions in Africa

NAIROBI, Kenya, July 13 2004 -- APC will hold a five-day ICT 
(information and communication technology) policy advocacy workshop in 
Nairobi starting July 19.  The workshop intends to galvanise the growing 
interest there is in ICT policy into a network of policy advocates 
working in their home countries. It will be the first of two regional 
ICT policy advocacy workshops, the second being held in Dakar, Senegal 
later this year. "Through the workshop, we hope to kick start concerted 
policy actions at the national level," says APC executive director, 
Anriette Esterhuysen. "There's a lot of interest and concern and a lot 
of expertise out there but not enough collaborative action. We want to 
do more than just build capacity." – APC
