Last year, from January to May 2000, the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and The Africa Policy Information Center (APIC, now a part of Africa Action) co-sponsored "International Policies, African Realities: An Electronic Roundtable," which brought more than 500 people together, with African panelists and participants from Africa and around the world, in a structured on-line discussion on a range of African issues. The electronic discussion was hosted by Bellanet. The full report is downloadable from the web site below and the discussion is archived for all to access.
A publication based on the Roundtable has just been published. It includes chapters on Economy and Development, Democracy and Human Rights, and Peace and Security, consisting of selected extracts from the Roundtable proceedings brought together by moderators Dr. AbdouMaliq Simone and Karin Santi.
The chapters entitled "Lessons Learned" and "Reflections" examine the use of ICTs to advance African shaping of continental and global policies, from the moderators and Africa Action senior research fellow William Minter.
The report is published on the Africa Action web site.
