[huridocs-tech] Re: ICT policy and civil society workshop (Addis Abeba, 6-10 November 2002)

Dear all,

This is an important announcement regarding the agenda for the ICT Policy
and Civil Society Workshop to be held in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia on the
6th to 10th November 2002.

The workshop duration runs from Wednesday the 6th November morning to
Sunday the 10th November. The main meeting of civil society organizations
begins on 6th morning until the 8th in the afternoon, followed by a two
day training course on ICT policy for civil society (from 8th in the
afternoon to 10th November morning).

A detailed agenda will be available shortly.

About the Training Course:

This is a two day pilot training course on ICT policy for civil society to
enable them to understand and engage in the ICT policy decisions that
impact on their work.  APC is offering training to a smaller group focused
on the concepts and materials in a plain-language guide that will provide
a general overview to ICT technology industry/economic and policy issues
with a focus on civil society activities and engagement on policy.

This will be a pilot running of the draft course and we would value
comments on the materials for future development. We will also be seeking
partners who could help us develop the course, and deliver the training
course elsewhere in Africa.

There are limited places for this training course and interested civil
society organizational will be required to apply separately for attendance
to this course.  Contact and enquiries to Dr. Peter Benjamin at
peterb@apc.org or Emmanuel Njenga Njuguna at njenga@apc.org with the
