Africa: APC to Hold ICT Policy Workshop in Nairobi

The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) will hold a five day ICT policy advocacy workshop in Nairobi from 19th - 23rd July. The workshop intends to galvinise the growing interest there is in ICT policy into a network of policy advocates working in their home countries. It will be the first of two regional ICT policy advocacy workshops, the second being held in Dakar, Senegal later this year. "Through the workshop, we hope to kick start concerted policy actions at the national level," says APC executive director, Anriette Esterhuysen. "There's a lot of interest and concern and a lot of expertise out there but not enough collaborative action. We want to do more than just build capacity."
