Africa & the Information Society

Young People remain the key to the emergence of the Information Society. Not only are they the main figure but they are undoubtedly the players of this dynamic.
In achieving the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), young involvement in this new revolution must be taken seriously. As young people are the link between today & tomorrow.
The Information Society has become one of the major strategies of achieving the MDGs...
Furthermore,It has been argued overtime that there can never be an Information Society without sustainable Healthcare Delivery Systems,& Equitable access to Education. One of our greatest problem(s) in Africa.
The Information Society presence is yet not well-felt in this region of the globe. The much profound problem of Digital Divide is very much in our midst (here in Africa). At the ongoing WSIS PrepCom II, it is believed that Youth Caucus members from Africa will do us all proud by persuading our respective Governments to take up real actions in bridging this DIVIDE.
It thus becomes imperative for the continent-state of Africa to rise to the occasion.
