Speaking at the World Summit on the Information Society conference in Tunis, Tunisia yesterday, Mark J Mwandosya, Tanzania's minister for communications and transport, says that challenges developing nations face include “inadequate infrastructure, high cost to access ICT facilities and lack of relevant local content”.
The workshop's theme is ‘e-government for regional economic prosperity' and is aimed at taking stock of the regional capacity in e-government. It will be co-hosted by the EAC Secretariat, the UN Economic Commission for Africa and AITEC Tanzania.
The Minister for Communications and Transport, Prof. Mark Mwandosya, made the initiative public last Friday before members of the Parliamentary Infrastructure Committee in Dar es Salaam.
