 The
Global ePolicy Resource Network (ePol-NET) was launched
in December 2003 at the World Summit on the Information
society (WSIS) held in Geneva.
The Africa Node of the ePol-NET, launched earlier in
May 2003 during the third meeting of ECA's Committee
on Development Information (CODI), is set up to address
policy issues, regulations and strategies in areas such
as e-commerce, legal and policy frameworks, telecommunications
policy and regulation, Internet governance, e-government
and connectivity strategies. The Economic Commission
for Africa, with support from the Government of Canada
set up the African regional node to the ePol-NET. The
Canadian partners to the Africa Node of the ePol-Net
are Industry Canada and the Canada ePolicy Resource
Network (CePRC).
The Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) under the Global
ePolicy Resource Network launched the ICTs, Trade and
Economic Growth (e-trade) Initiative in March 2006 following
a continental forum on the issue. Six country studies
on ICTs, trade and economic growth were launched in
Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Senegal and South Africa.
