Dear Colleague

Thank you for registering interest in the above event. Online registration is now open.

The ICT Stakeholder Forum, a three-day forum is aimed at bringing stakeholders together to examine concrete projects, proposals and models that will help integrate least developed countries into the global economy through the effective deployment of information communication technologies (ICTs). The Forum will bring together decision makers from stakeholder organisations and engage them in fruitful discussions that will hopefully lead to commitments that can be implemented on the ground.

Hon. Prime Minister Paul Raymond Bérenger will deliver the keynote address. Hon. Deelchand Jeeha, Minister for Information Technology and Telecommunications will open the conference.

The Forum will include a mixture of plenary and multi-stakeholder roundtables. On the first day there will be a "ministerial" session drawing on the experiences and challenges facing LDCs; launch of a publication on market opportunities in least developed countries' ICT sector; a scene setting session; a private sector roundtable. The second day will focus primarily on discussing ICT projects and on donor perspectives.

For the private sector this event provides a unique opportunity to:

* Network with key Government Ministers, local and
regional business leaders
* Showcase new work to key stakeholders
* Discuss opportunities in key areas of ICT development
* Influence recommendations on the use of ICT in
international development

I look forward to welcoming you to the event.

With kind regards

Helen Stanley
