TIGA Awards 2011: Celebrating Excellence
in eGovernment
The competition for the prestigious
Technology in Government in Africa Awards (TIGA)
for 2011 has opened. The education category
of the awards is organised jointly with the
eLearning Africa Conference and Scholarship
Trust.
Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Berlin, Germany.
The competition for the third TIGA
Technology in Government Awards 2011 has
opened. The awards are organised by the
United Nations Economic Commission for
Africa (UNECA) and supported by the
Government of Finland. This biennial event
recognises African governments' effective
use of ICTs for public services and raises
awareness for the role of ICTs for the
development process. The deadline for
entries is February 28th.
One of the awards - in the category on
"Improved Educational Services Through the
Use of ICTs" - is organised jointly with the
eLearning Africa Conference and Scholarship
Trust.
The TIGA Awards are presented to African
governments and institutions based on the
Continent that are engaged in initiating,
developing and implementing ICTs for public
service, thereby contributing to the
development of the Information Society in
Africa.
In 2009, twelve innovative projects from ten
African countries have won a TIGA award,
amongst them the "Women Healthcare Mobile
Unit Project" of the Ministry of
Communication and IT of Egypt. The project
provides educational resources and tools to
radiologists, radiographers, surgeons and
other health professionals in managing
breast cancer. Botswana's Ministry of
Communications, Science and Technology was
rewarded for its "Connecting Communities -
Kitsong Centre" project which enables rural
communities gain access to eServices and
develop an ICT culture.
Further information about categories as well
as terms and conditions for entering the
competition is available at www.uneca.org/tiga.
