pour le développement : Un guide pour construire une infrastructure de
télécommunication en région émergente **<br>
Par : Alberto Escudero-Pascual et Louise Berthilson<br>
"Bien que de très bon livres soient disponibles aujourd'hui, je n'ai
pas rencontré de documents qui présentent quelques notions
fondamentales de manière intuitive au commun des mortels. Ce précis
tente de présenter des concepts essentiels à la téléphonie par
Internet, et donne quelques exemples de son potentiel dans les régions
émergentes. Le but étant de conserver ce document succinct mais utile,
un effort particulier a été porté sur sa pédagogie."<br>

** Le rôle des Etats dans l’ère des TIC **<br>
Par : Roberto Di Cosmo<br>
"Les TIC ont profondément changé l’écosystème de la publication
scientifique, en révélant au grand jour un conflit d’intérêts
grandissant entre les éditeurs d’un côté et tous les autres acteurs de
l’autre. En partant d’une analyse précise des exigences minimales d’un
système de publication scientifique et du divorce qui se consomme,
entre auteurs, utilisateurs et éditeurs de la publication scientifique
à cause de la révolution apportée par les TIC, nous mettons ici en
évidence ce que la communauté scientifique peut faire, et commence déjà
à faire par elle même, pour se libérer du joug désormais injustifié
imposé par les éditeurs."<br>

ACTIVITES DU CIPACO :<br>
---------------------------------</span></font></p>
<font color="black"><font size="2"><font face="Verdana">Promouvoir la
recherche et la coopération technique sur les TIC en Afrique :
L'initiative "EuroAfrica ICT"<br>
<br>
L’un des axes stratégiques d’intervention, identifiés lors de l’atelier
de lancement du CIPACO à Mbodiène (Sénégal, 2004), est la recherche sur
les TIC. L’une des activités du CIPACO dans ce contexte est l’appui à
la mise en œuvre du projet EuroAfrica ICT qui a pour objectifs de
favoriser, dans le cadre du FP7 (Framework Programme 7), des
partenariats Europe-Afrique sub-saharienne dans le domaine des TIC et
de contribuer au développement de la coopération scientifique et
technique, dans ce même domaine, et entre ces deux régions (un volet
particulier du projet est focalisé sur l’Afrique du Sud). Aussi appelé
START, ce projet est soutenu par la Commission Européenne dans le cadre
de son programme IST. Un processus de consultation publique a été
récemment lancé pour inviter les organisations européennes et de
l’Afrique sub-saharienne à apporter leurs contributions au groupe de
travail du projet et à donner leur avis sur les productions de ce
groupe. Le projet cible aussi bien les acteurs de la recherche et de la
coopération technique tant du secteur public que privé, ainsi que les
acteurs concernés de la société civile.<br>

Le CIPACO est mis en place par l’Institut Panos Afrique de l’Ouest
(IPAO) <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.panos-ao.org">http://www.panos-ao.org</a>,
une organisation non gouvernementale
africaine dont l’objectif est de promouvoir une culture de la
démocratie, de la citoyenneté et de la paix, à travers l’information et
la communication. Il a pour but de
renforcer les capacités des acteurs en Afrique de l’Ouest et du Centre,
pour une meilleure participation à la prise de décision internationale
en matière de TIC. Une initiative partenaire couvrant l’Afrique de
l’Est et l’Afrique Australe a été également mis en place dans le cadre
du programme CATIA : <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"

dans le
Programme NTIC de l’IPAO. Pour plus d’information, consultez notre site

** VoIP-4D Primer : Building Voice Infrastructure in Developing Regions
**<br>
By : Alberto Escudero-Pascual and Louise Berthilson<br>
'This “primer” is an attempt to introduce [people] to those essentials
of IP telephony and give [them] some concrete examples of the potential
use in developing regions. As the goal was to create a short but not
necessarily simplistic document, a big part of this effort has been to
be as pedagogical as possible.'<br>

** The Future of Voice in Africa **<br>
By : Russell Southwood<br>
'This paper draws on a report written by the author called African VoIP
Markets that looks in greater detail at some of the issues covered.
[It] seeks to identify the changes that VoIP has made in how the
African telecoms and Internet sectors operate and looks forward to the
new developments that will flow from the transition to IP. Africa has
become one of the first developing world continents where major markets
have been opened up to the legal use of VoIP. Therefore, its experience
as a continent has relevance to other countries struggling with the
challenges VoIP poses.'<br>

Promoting ICT Research in Africa : the EuroAfrica ICT initiative<br>
<br>
CIPACO is participating in a new project named "EuroAfrica
ICT"supported by the European Commission through its IST programme. In
fact, one main strategic axis of its intervention identified during the
Mbodiene CIPACO launch workshop in 2004 is ICT research. The objective
of the new project is to connect Sub-saharan Africa and the European
Union for ICT partnerships through the Framework Programme 7 and to
contribute to the development of scientific and technical cooperation
between the two regions (a specific aspect of the project is related to
cooperation with South Africa). An open consultation process has been
recently launched in the framework of the project. This consultation
invites European and sub-Saharan African organisations to provide
inputs to the working group and to give their feedback on working group
outputs through on-line posted contributions. The target audience of
the project include all stakeholders interested in ICT research and
technical cooperation in the ICT field, notably instutions from the
public and private sector.<br>
