Dear Colleagues, Today, has been the post-WSIS consolidation conference day for Uganda. The conference was Organized by Wougnet, Uganda Communication Commission, I-network, collegium for development studies and UPPSALA Universitet.
Overall, the conference aimed at consolidating what happened at WSIS and finding a concrete way forwards to meet the WSIS targets at the National level. Especially, establishing national priorities and benchmarks. By the end of the conference, the pre-WSIS task force was adopted to oversee the initial 2-year implemetation strategy and action plan. It was equally agreed that the Task force increases its current depth of membership. Interestingly, the results of the TLF were discussed with the members increasingly interested in collaborative sharing that will be fostered by tc.org. This was suggested as the only way to increase ICT access to rural communities. Increasing ICT access for rural communities was one of the resolutions made by the main WSIS Summit. Currently UgaBYTES is working closely with all stakeholders to faciliate a meaningfull sharing of experiences, challenges and opportunities- at the appropriate time. Count on us in Uganda and East Africa for Telecentre Networking. We shall count on you to facilitate knowledge sharing in your Country. If there is any similar progress in your country, let us know... Best Regards, Sulah -- Sulah Ndaula Portfolio Coordinator UgaBYTES INITIATIVE, Plot 30 Kampala Road, Greenland Tower, P.O.
