This report aims to review progress on legal and regulatory framework for ICT and to highlight some key challenges. There is no doubt that an appropriate legal and regulatory environment ensures that there is a set of rules and regulations which allow the ICT sector to be more competitive, thus promoting the expansion of the economy. The report draws on country case studies commissioned by ECA in 2013 in five selected African countries representing the five regions of the continent: Ethiopia (East Africa), Cameroon (Central Africa), the Gambia (West Africa), Morocco (North Africa) and Mozambique (Southern Africa) to assess the ICT policy development and implementation processes in these countries in the context of their respective country’s overall infrastructure. The countries differ significantly in the structure of their ICT markets and by implication in their regulatory governance structures and regulations. While the Ethiopian ICT market remains a government monopoly, the Moroccan market is fully liberalized and competitive. This diversity provides significant variation from which lessons can be drawn.
