Hosted by the Government of Uganda through the Ministry of Information

Part of the IST-Africa Initiative, which is supported by the European

Africa 2009 is the fourth in an Annual Conference Series which brings  
together senior representatives from leading commercial, government &  
research organisations across Africa and from Europe, to bridge the  
Digital Divide by sharing knowledge, experience, lessons learnt and  
good practice and discussing policy related issues.

IST-Africa 2009 will focus on Applied ICT research topics addressing  
major societal and economic challenges, which is part of the European  
Commission's ICT programme. The programme combines strategic keynote  
presentations, technical and policy papers, case studies, workshops,  
an exhibition and social activities. The scientific programme for IST- 
Africa 2009 is based on an open Call for Papers and the conference  
language is English.
