About the AISI Video Series?
DISD has produced two video
programmes in December 2004 to showcase successful examples
of ICT for development activities in four selected African
countries: Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia and Ghana. This video
production constitutes part of the outreach activities of
our division and was undertaken within the framework of the
African Information Society Initiative (AISI). Supported by
the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ), video programmes,
“Africa Goes Digital” and “The Challenges
of ICT for Development” highlight challenges and opportunities
of the Information Society in Africa, raise awareness on the
importance and implications of ICT for Development issues
on economic and social development and demonstrate successful
examples and initiatives in the above countries with national
ICT policies and plans as a coordinating framework. These
video programmes were produced as a contribution to the commitments
made by the African leaders to build an inclusive and balanced
Information Society during the first World Summit on the Information
Society (WSIS) organized in Geneva in December 2003. The outcomes
of the video production will be broadcast by TV stations throughout
Africa.process. This programme was made possible with funding
from the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ). It is produced
by AVA Dateline Productions for ECA. |
