APC comments on the first draft National ICT Policy for Zambia

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- In a letter to the Zambian ministry for 
communications and transport, APC has commended the Zambian government 
for its efforts in drafting a holistic national ICT policy and for 
disseminating the draft online to make it possible for the public to 
submit comments. “We value the broad definition of ICT adopted early in 
the document,” says APC, but “Some important policy concerns are 
mentioned as action points for implementation without a clear enough 
policy position that would give direction during implementation. Some 
are left out altogether.”

Read the full letter as featured in this month’s “Chakula” - APC’s ICT 
policy newsletter for African civil society.
