PROGRAM DESCRPTION:
This seminar is a World Bank response to the growing interest in many client
countries in designing legal framework to enable the effective use of ICT in the
development agenda. Many countries have already developed e-legislation
frameworks and many others are still in the process. Therefore, a number of
World Bank?s client countries are actively seeking know-how in this area.
A comprehensive, flexible and ?future proof? legal framework is one of the key
elements of the enabling environment for a country?s e-Development policy
agenda. This video-seminar will examine current best practices, new legal and
policy initiatives affecting e-development, and present country case studies
from different regions and levels of development describing what works and what
doesn?t work, with a particular focus on e-Commerce.
The videoconference will be conducted in English. It will be broadcast live on
the Internet and all relevant materials will be uploaded to the e-Development
Thematic Group website. Live Webcast will start at 9 am EST on Dec.14:
