Concept Note


AfICTA Summit 2018 is the 6th in the series of AfICTA Summits beginning from Lagos in 2013 to Cairo in 2014, Johannesburg in 2015, Windhoek in 2016, Abuja in 2017 and now in Mombasa, Kenya in 2018.

 
The Summit seeks to set a clear agenda and strategy for the integration of ICTs in the attainment of the Big 4 Agenda for Africa: Industrialization/Manufacturing, Universal Healthcare, Food Security and Affordable Housing.

Hosting this Summit in this part of the continent for the first time is particularly pertinent as the Kenya Government has already adopted the attainment of the Big 4 Agenda as a goal to be met in the next 5 years.

The major problems facing Africa at the moment can be categorized into 4 major spheres, (1) the need to accelerate and grow industrialization and manufacturing sectors (2) the need to attain universal healthcare for the continent’s citizens, (3) the need for food security for all and (4) ensuring that all citizens have access to decent and affordable housing. Information and Communications Technologies have on the other hand been considered as a powerful tool and facilitator in achieving these societal and economic goals. 

The challenge is to clearly set out strategies and approaches in which ICTs can be effectively integrated into the planning and implementation processes necessary to achieve the aforementioned societal and economic objectives.

The role of the 6th Annual AfICTA Summit is to offer a platform at which actors and stakeholders from varied and eclectic backgrounds in both the private and public sectors can meet and share experiences and ideas to effectively integrate ICT into the continent’s planning processes.

At the end of the Summit we will expect to come out with a synthesized program and approach to present to decision and policy-makers on how to effectively integrate ICT into their work.

Considering that Kenya is the largest and the most advanced economy in East and Central Africa and the Governments stated commitment to the Big 4 Agenda, we expect the Summit to be a huge success in mobilizing ideas and affirming expectations for the benefit of the continent.
