ICT AWARDS - AFRICAN PROJECTS WANTED
March 24, 2003 - 09:30 AM

The City of Stockholm, Sweden, and the Stockholm Challenge Award, is looking for innovative, high-qualified projects in Africa who use IT to benefit people and society. Stockholm Challenge is an international awards programme for pioneering projects using IT in innovative ways, in areas such as environment, education, health, culture, e-government and e-business.
The aim is to diminish the digital divide and to create an information society for all. African projects have for many years been underrepresented in Stockholm Challenge although there are projects going on in Africa in this field. Nominations are therefore being sought for projects that meet the Stockholm Challenge criteria. The competition is open to private, public and academic contestants.

Titiakinsanmi! How are you?
Please let me know the closing date and related details. Can we apply online? Would you know offhand what the criteria are? I am under the impression that your country leads the way on the continent on the ICT sector, would you like to share some of your expertise and experience with us.

Thanks a million for posting this, the ironic part is that the people it's intended for are not in "touch".
