[kictanet] 'CIPESA Open Government in Africa Brief

[Lillian Nalwoga]

Dear members,



On September 20, 2011, the Open Government Partnership (OGP) was launched.
It aims to promote transparency, empower citizens, fight corruption, and
harness new technologies to strengthen governance.



The Collaboration on International ICT Policy for East and Southern Africa
(CIPESA) has prepared a briefing note - attached - that explains the OGP,
looks at OGP indicators and prospects in selected African countries (Ghana,
Kenya, Liberia, Tanzania, Uganda, South Africa) and explores the role ICT
could play in catalysing the achievement of Open Government in Africa.



This paper is also available at our website, www.cipesa.org , where more
resources on open government [in Africa] will be posted in the coming days.



Comments (programmes at cipesa.org) are most welcome.



Best,


--
