BULLETIN SPECIAL CHAKULA/INFO-CIPACO
Contributions de l'Afrique à la seconde phase du SMSI
The aim of this joint newsletter by the Center for International ICT Policy
Central and West Africa (CIPACO) of PIWA and the Association for Progressive
Communications (APC), is to serve as a key resource and reference point for
stakeholders interested in African ICT policy and WSIS issues. It collects
links to essential speeches, presentations, reports and inputs by African
stakeholders during the WSIS process (phase 2). It also provides an analysis
and commentary on Africa's participation in the summit. The documents have
been collected from various sources, including the official WSIS website.
They are organised first by Prepcoms (and themes) and then by stakeholder
input. Documents are in English, but also in French, usually according to
the original language in with they were published.
Ce bulletin d'information, co-réalisé par le Centre sur les Politiques
internationales des NTIC pour l'Afrique de l'Ouest et l'Afrique Centre
(CIPACO) de l'IPAO et l'Association for Progressive Communications (APC), se
veut un document de référence sur le SMSI pour les acteurs intéressés par
les politiques des TIC et le SMSI en Afrique. Il s'agit d'abord d'un
répertoire annoté de liens pointant vers les principales présentations et
contributions produites par les acteurs africains durant le processus du
SMSI (phase 2). On y trouvera aussi une analyse sur la participation
africaine au SMSI et les perspectives. Les documents ont été collectés de
sources, y compris le site officiel du SMSI. Les références sont organisées
suivant les étapes du SMSI (et les thèmes traités), puis subdivisées selon
le type d'acteur. Les documents sont en anglais ou français, dans la plupart
des cas, en fonction de la langue d'origine.

« ..Rien ne peut justifier le mépris des leaders des pays riches et
développés et leur dédain à participer à un sommet, dont ils ont accepté au
préalable le principe, sous motif qu'il se passe dans un pays du Sud....
Malheureusement, peu de progrès dans les documents de Tunis convenus lors de
la seconde phase, comprenant "le chapeau politique" rebaptisé "Engagement de
Tunis" et une partie opérationnelle. .. »

III - **Work lies ahead for Africa to follow up WSIS gains**
By Willie Currie, APC ICT Policy Manager
African participation in the WSIS process was multi-stakeholder in nature as
it involved governments, the private sector representing internet service
providers and civil society organizations across Africa. This was
particularly important in a context in which governments often insist that
they are the only ones with the right to engage in policy-making processes.
While some African Civil Society stakeholders contributed individually to
the discussions, much of their input was coordinated by the network African
Civil Society for the Information Society (ACSIS). Some however felt that
the level and quality of civil society participation needed to be improved
and supported for a stronger impact.
By the second Tunis phase of WSIS in November last year, there were two key
issues at stake:
* How should the internet be governed;
* How should access to ICTs in developing countries be managed and financed.
The intervention from Africa that received the most attention was the demand
by President A. Wade from Senegal for serious consideration to be given to
the establishment of a voluntary Digital Solidarity Fund (DSF). When
President Wade made this proposal at the WSIS in Geneva in December 2003,
the idea of a new financial mechanism was opposed by developed countries. To
resolve the matter, a Task Force on Financial Mechanisms (TFFM) was
established to investigate the adequacy of financial mechanisms for ICT for
Development (ICTD). The Task Force found a number of areas in which current
approaches to ICTD financing are not adequate, such as:
* ICT capacity-building programmes;
* Access and connectivity in remote rural areas, isolated islands, and
locations that present market challenges;
* Regional backbone infrastructure to link networks across borders;
* Broadband capacity;
* ICT applications and content to integrate ICTs into the implementation of
development sector programmes in health, education etc.
Governments endorsed this view in the Tunis Agenda for the Information
Society, and also made proposals for improvements in existing financial
mechanisms. These included:
* Enhancing regional cooperation and creating multi-stakeholder
partnerships, especially for building regional backbone infrastructure;
* Providing affordable access to ICTs by reducing international internet
costs charged by backbone providers;
* Multilateral, regional and bilateral development organisations to consider
creating a virtual forum for sharing information on potential projects and
financing sources and mechanisms;
* Multilateral, regional and bilateral development organisations to consider
cooperating to support developing countries that request assistance with
respect to ICT policies.
The Tunis Agenda also welcomed the DSF as 'an innovative financial mechanism
of a voluntary nature'. The wording of the paragraph on the DSF emerged
through negotiations between the Africa Group led by Ghana and the European
Union at Prep-Com 2 in Geneva. African support for the DSF was sealed in the
Accra Commitments adopted at the Africa Preparatory Conference held in Accra
in February 2005. The Accra Commitments also called upon international and
regional organisations to assist African countries in the urgent development
and implementation of a broadband ICT infrastructure as anticipated by
NEPAD. The current debates concerning whether the proposed EASSy regional
cable should be openly accessible or controlled by an oligopolistic
consortium of telecom companies is still unfolding post WSIS. Recently
Ubuntu Linux founder and entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth added his voice to
the criticism of telecommunications "cartels" that dominate the African
telecommunications sector, and which he said are jeopardizing the potential
for affordable bandwidth through the EASSy and SAT-3 projects. At the same
time, Kenya's multi-stakeholder ICT lobby group KICTANeT is about to launch
an EASSy campaign for open access in partnership with the Kenyan private
sector. According to KICTANeT's Alice Wanjira, the concept of open and
universal access now has the support of the Kenyan government (see
http://www.fibreforafrica.net/ for background on the EASSy and SAT-3
projects).
If who has access to the Information Society was the central issue that
Africa engaged with at WSIS, Africa was also concerned about how the
internet should be governed. African ICT Ministers adopted the Dakar
Declaration on Internet Governance in September 2005 which proposed:
* The establishment of a global consultation framework to review policies on
internet governance on a multi-stakeholder basis;
* The expansion and reinforcement of existing institutions of internet
governance to ensure all stakeholders participate to ensure internet
governance is efficient, accountable and democratic, and that internet
services and resources are distributed in an equitable manner among all
actors and all continents.
The African proposal played a role in building consensus for the
establishment of the Internet Governance Forum (IGF) at Tunis as well as for
ensuring that the issue of the equitable distribution of internet services
and resources be placed on the IGF's agenda for discussion.
While Africa played a significant role in WSIS, it will be important for
African stakeholders to participate actively in the implementation of the
Geneva Plan of Action and the Tunis Agenda. African stakeholders will need
to develop strategies for engaging with the IGF and various WSIS action
lines for implementation. Multi-lingualism is likely to be on the agenda of
the first meeting of the IGF in Greece in October 2006. This is a matter of
considerable concern for Africa. However, care should also be taken that
issues such as access to the internet and the question of reducing
international interconnection costs are not marginalized within the IGF.
With regard to the WSIS action lines, Africa has a clear interest in action
line C2 on information and communications infrastructure which is currently
facilitated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). African
stakeholders need to ensure they engage with the ITU to make sure the
implementation processes around infrastructure are addressed in ways that
can build Africa's regional backbone networks and lead to sustainable
broadband policies and networks across Africa.
Lastly, Africa will need to ensure that the DSF is placed on a sound footing
and develops an innovative funding mechanism. Attention will also need to be
given to the kind of projects it supports - it may be best for the DSF to
leverage its alliance with municipalities and to concentrate on supporting
open access municipal networks.

IV - Activités du projet CIPACO de l'IPAO dans le cadre de la seconde phase
du SMSI
(The CIPACO project of PIWA and WSIS II
- see http://www.cipaco.org/article.php3?id_article=674&lang=en for the
English version)
Mis en place à la fin de l'année 2004, le CIPACO a participé à la rencontre
préparatoire africaine du SMSI, en février 2005 au Ghana. Son site web a été
lancé à cette occasion (événement parallèle), et le projet a réalisé une
intervention lors de l'atelier sur le partenariat multi-acteur de la CEA et
du GKP. Le coordinateur du CIPACO et un expert africain, financé par le
projet ont pris part à la Prepcom 3 de Genève, où ils ont, entre autres,
participé à la rédaction de propositions par la société civile africaine. En
prélude à cette rencontre, un débat sur la participation de la Société
Civile Africaine au Prepcom 3 et sur le rapport du Groupe de Travail sur la
Gouvernance de l'Internet avait été co-organisé, en partenariat avec le
réseau de la société civile africaine ACSIS et APC. En outre, l'IPAO,
notamment dans le cadre du CIPACO, avait chargé six journalistes
ouest-africains d'évaluer la participation de leurs pays respectifs au SMSI,
en guise d'exercice, suite à une formation sur les politiques des TIC
http://www.cipaco.org/article.php3?id_article=367.
Le projet était, par ailleurs, au Sommet de Tunis, où il a organisé un
certain nombre d'activités. Ainsi, les résultats provisoires de l'étude sur
la participation de l'Afrique et de son secteur privé au SMSI ont été
présenté lors d'un atelier enregistré comme activité du sommet. Ce rapport a
reçu le soutien de la Commission Economique des Nations Unies pour l'Afrique
(panéliste lors de l'atelier). Une contribution de cette institution sera
publiée dans le rapport final (voir le rapport provisoire ici
http://www.cipaco.org/article.php3?id_article=400). Le CIPACO a aussi
accordé un certain nombre d'interviews à des médias internationaux comme la
BBC Afrique (radio), Radio France Internationale, Deutsche Welle. Ces
interviews portaient principalement sur la participation africaine au SMSI,
et au processus international de prise de décision concernant les TIC. Le
CIPACO a contribué à la couverture du SMSI par les journalistes africains,
couverture assurée par l'IPAO et Highway Africa News Agency (voir
http://www.panos-ao.org/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=305). Son site web a
constamment diffusé l'actualité du SMSI. Le projet a offert une bourse à un
acteur malien, afin qu'il prenne part à un atelier organisé en prélude au
SMSI sur les normes, et au sommet proprement dit. Par ailleurs, la deuxième
rencontre du Comité Consultatif Régional du CIPACO a eu lieu à la fin du
sommet de Tunis.
Enfin, le CIPACO facilite les discussions entre les acteurs de la société
civile africaine engagés dans le SMSI, en co-finançant, depuis septembre
2005, la traduction automatique de discussions sur la liste du réseau de la
Société Civile Africaine pour la Société de l'Information (ACSIS - voir :
http://wsis.funredes.org/acsis/).
