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.
