Second Annual African E-Gov Forum 2008, 4 - 6 March 2008, Serena Hotel,
Kampala

The Commonwealth Telecommunications Organisation (CTO) in
collaboration with the Ministry of ICT is currently organising the
Second Annual African E-Gov Forum 2008, which will be held at the
Serena Hotel, Kampala, Uganda from 4 - 6 March, 2008. Following on
from the successful inaugural event in Accra, Ghana last March, which
was attended by 150 key ICT decision makers from both the Private and
Public Sector, the CTO is building support for this vital conference.

The topic of "Utilising ICT for more efficient, effective and
inclusive governance" has been selected by the CTO for these key reasons:

- Good governance is critical in any nation, principality, or community.

- The CTO firmly believes that connectivity and harnessing the
potential of ICT is the enabler to make rapid improvement in this.

- To achieve this improvement it is vital that the Public and Private
Sectors develop understanding and partnerships so that real benefits
can be felt by both administrations and the citizens they serve.

Women of Uganda Network (WOUGNET) is a supporting partner for the
event and together with CTO is organising the entire afternoon of the
second day of the Forum (Wednesday 5th March 2008) dedicated to
"Overcoming the challenge of engaging women with e-Governance through
harnessing ICT". This session will be comprised of two presentations
which will be followed by an extensive panel discussion on this
essential topic area for the future of African governance.
