World Information Technology Forum

(WITFOR 2005)

August 31 - September 2, 2005, Gaborone, Botswana

The second World Information Technology Forum (WITFOR) will be hosted by the Government of the Republic of Botswana, in collaboration with the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) and UNESCO. The three-day Conference is intended to help implement information development strategies and projects in the developing world. The conference will also discuss the role of ICT in addressing specific issues, such as HIV/ AIDS, poverty and digital divide.

The anticipated outcome of WITFOR 2005 is to develop and foster a clear statement of political will and a concrete plan of action for achieving the goals of the Information Society, while fully reflecting all the different interests at stake. This plan of action will be submitted for adoption as the 'Gaborone Protocol' in the UNESCO General Conference in 2005.
