The theme of the International Conference on ICT for Africa 2010 (ICIA 2010) is ‘ICT for Development – Contributions of the South’. The four-day convention will bring together a fine mix of practitioners and academicians in the area of ICTs for sustainable development. It will explore the contributions of Africa to the global ICT for development discourse and efforts. The objective is to highlight the synergy of collaboration between African countries and other developing countries, and between African countries and the developed countries towards development solutions.

Discussions and panel debates will therefore question how ICTs become the process for South-to-South knowledge transfer and South-to-North knowledge transfer in both research and practice. Workshops will explore international grant seeking opportunities for ICT research and projects, e-learning for African universities, and new frontiers in telemedicine and tele-neonatology research and practice in Africa. Topics that will be covered include the use of ICTs in education, health care delivery, business, poverty and the sustainability of related projects and initiatives in the Sub-Saharan African context.
