APC comments on the first draft National ICT Policy for Zambia

JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- In a letter to the Zambian ministry for
communications and transport, APC has commended the Zambian government
for its efforts in drafting a holistic national ICT policy and for
disseminating the draft online to make it possible for the public to
submit comments. “We value the broad definition of ICT adopted early in
the document,” says APC, but “Some important policy concerns are
mentioned as action points for implementation without a clear enough
policy position that would give direction during implementation. Some
are left out altogether.”

Read the full letter as featured in this month’s “Chakula” - APC’s ICT
policy newsletter for African civil society.
