THETHA - THE SANGONeT ICT DISCUSSION FORUM

Sixth Provincial Thetha - KwaZulu-Natal Province

16 August 2004

In March 2003 the Southern African NGO Network (SANGONeT) launched Thetha:
The SANGONeT ICT Discussion Forum. This initiative aims to provide civil
society organisations (CSOs) with an opportunity to discuss information
communication technology (ICT) issues of common concern and to learn from
one another's experiences.

The forums focus specifically on the ICT challenges facing the CSO sector,
highlighting and promoting practical benefits, opportunities and lessons
learned to date.

Given the success and positive feedback received in response to previous
Thetha forums, SANGONeT will be co-hosting its sixth provincial Thetha on
Monday, 16 August 2004, in the KwaZulu-Natal province. The forum is
organised in conjunction with the National Development Agency (NDA) and
SANGOCO.

Participants will be introduced to various inputs from government, business
and the CSO sector, highlighting various ICT policy and development issues.

Specific attention will also be given to the activities and initiatives of
various CSOs involved in ICT issues.

SANGONeT has been providing networking, information and training services to
Southern African CSOs since its inception in 1987.

SANGONeT's mission is to be a facilitator in the effective and empowering
use of ICTs by development and social justice actors in Africa.
