East African Community Regional e-Government Framework (Draft, June 2005) |

"The vision of regional integration in East Africa is to create wealth,
raise the living standards of all people of East Africa and enhance
international competitiveness of the region. The key to achieving this
vision is increased production, trade and investments in the region
with Information and Communication Technologies playing a leading
role." The East African Community with technical assistance from United
Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) undertook to develop a
harmonized policy and strategy framework for e-government among EAC
partner-states, Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. This framework is envisaged
to cover all major aspects of regional cooperation on e-government. In
developing this document, a participatory approach and consultative
methodology was followed to gather data from the three states. Data
gathered included information on current activities and requirements as
well as challenges and opportunities in promoting e-government.
The National Planning Authority (NPA) is seeking comments on the
current draft document that will be consolidated as the Ugandan input
to the EAC Secretariat. Comments must be received by July 22, 2005. Click here for a copy of the EAC Regional e-Government Framework (WORD format).
