Workshop
on the use of ICT as a tool to boost trade exchanges within the Union du Maghreb Arabe
(UMA), Tangiers, Morocco, 1- 3 March 2005
A workshop on the use of ICT
as a tool to boost trade exchanges within the Union du Maghreb Arabe (UMA) will be held
from 1 to 3 March 2005 in Tangiers, Morocco by ICT experts, private sector and civil
society representatives from member states.
Jointly organized by UMA, ECA and UNDP, the seminar is mainly intended to raise awareness
about the crucial role of ICTs in the intensification of trade exchanges within the
sub-region and devise strategies on how to mainstream new technologies in economic and
development policies.
Key among the issues to be addressed are: ICT and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs),
the use of online applications for trading of goods and services in the UMA region, e-
commerce and the settlement of disputes arising from online transactions.
Like many other developing countries, the Union of Magreb Arab states will not be
competitive in the trade sector unless they overcome major obstacles, including the lack
of awareness of the potential of ICTs, the lack of basic infrastructure and an enabling
legal framework. The workshop will discuss reforms that focus on the use of ICTs to
increase productivity, for better market access, poverty alleviation and sustainable
development.
The idea of holding this seminar emerged in March last year, during a workshop on
multilateral trade, jointly organized by the UMA secretariat, ECA and the Moroccan
Government.
