dc.description.abstract | The Information Technology Centre for Africa (ITCA) is information and communication technology (ICT) focused exhibition and learning centre. The concept of ITCA grew out of the need to wrap a framework around the growing number of mandates and ICT related outreach activities spearheaded by ECA. ITCA offers an opportunity to reach the approximately 18,000 conference participants that pass through the ECA's United Nations Conference Center (UNCC) to attend over 1500 events annually. ITCA intends to provide its exhibition and training services both to ECA and non-ECA-sponsored conferences in the framework of the African Information Society Initiative (AISI) which was adopted in 1996 by the African Ministers in charge of economic and social development and planning, as well as the Summit of African Heads of State and Government of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in Yaoundé (Cameroon) in July 1996. In responding to the AISI framework, ITCA aims to focus on enhancing the awareness and commitment of African policy and decision-makers in assuming leadership and championing the diffusion and utilization of ICTs to development endeavors in Africa. This will open up significant new markets for ICT products and services throughout Africa, even in the medium term, which will further accelerate the continent's socio-economic development and growth. | en |
