Legal and regulatory framworks for the knowledge economy : concept paper
Abstract
In this context, this concept paper will analyze the development of e-commerce legal and regulatory frameworks which is an essential element in creation of an enabling environment for the knowledge economy. The paper focuses on the following components: the current status of cyber laws in Africa; legal issues to be covered by such laws; existing templates to be used; highlights of best practices; and what is being done at the level of the regional economic communities (RECs) to ensure that member countries enact cyber laws and consider the recommendations on how ECA can assist in their adoption of appropriate legal and regulatory frameworks for the knowledge economy.
