Capacity-Building Programme for Diplomats: Strengthening Capacity
on E-government and ICT Policy
In partnership with UNITAR and the ILO, a capacity-building programme
on ICT and e-government for African, Eastern European and Caribbean
diplomats was held in Italy in 2003. The objective of the workshop
was to provide diplomats from developing countries with the tools
and substantive background in order to strengthen their negotiation
skills and facilitate their participation in international negotiations
on ICT policies, as well as participate actively in the World
Summit on the Information Society (Summer/Fall 2003).

E-government Capacity-Building in Africa
The Consultative Meeting, held in Morocco in January 2003, involved
participants from African countries and partner institutions involved
in the implementation of e-governance in Africa, with the aim
to exchange views and experiences and discuss further steps of
implementation of common activities. This involved, in particular,
the studies undertaken by UNESCO, IICD, CAFRAD and ICLEI in the
area of training for local e-governance in Africa. This Consultative
Meeting was also linked with the recommendations of the recent
“e-Africa - First Regional Workshop on building e-governance
capacity in Africa” (Johannesburg, 28 - 31 October 2002),
organized by CAFRAD and the Department of Public Service and Administration
of the Government of South Africa (DPSA), in partnership with
UNDESA/DPADM and under the banner of NEPAD, and with other ongoing
global and regional initiatives in the area of e-governance. The
overall objective of the Consultative Meeting was to share experiences
and to make an inventory of needs and initiatives on training
for local e-governance, at the practitioners level, to link comparable
initiatives and expert resources and thus avoid duplication of
projects and overlap of activities.

Three training workshops were organized by UNPAN-DPADM for all
UNPAN members, focusing on: (i) better understanding of how to
make use of ICTs for information management in the area of public
administration; and (ii) applications of the UNPAN document and
database management systems ( November 2000, New York; July 2001,
Dakar, in cooperation with IDEP; and June 2002, Shanghai, in cooperation
with RCOCI). In October 2002, a coaching mission to UNPAN-African
Centres (OFPA/IDEP) took place to assist their staff in improving
their skills in e-information management.
