    Description

    The Africa Information & Communication Technologies Alliance (AfICTA) is a concerned private sector led alliance of ICT Associations, Multi-national Corporations, Companies, Organisations and individuals in Africa. The intent of our day 0 event is to host a collaborative discussion of interested stakeholders on the needs, challenges, and drivers towards achieving a digital Africa and unlocking the digital potential of the continent.

    Session will be conducted in a sort of round table "On Line" meeting with AfICTA regional chairs providing a regional insight in to the ICT related matter following by an open session of interactive dialogue with the participants. The idea is not to be prescriptive but to let the meeting flow with the view to bringing forward new ideas and suggestions that might influence the future work of the alliance.
