The Open Data Platform program is part of the AfDB’s recently launched “Africa Information Highway” initiative aimed at significantly improving data management and dissemination in Africa. Work is on course to complete platforms for the rest of African countries by July 2013.<br /><br />The Open Data Platform is a user-friendly tool for extracting data, creating and sharing own customized reports, and visualizing data across themes, sectors and countries in tables, charts and maps. Through the Open Data Platform, users can access a wide range of development data on African countries from multiple international and national official sources. The platform also facilitates the collection, analysis and sharing of data among countries and with international development partners. The platform offers a unique opportunity for various users, such as policymakers, analysts, researchers, business leaders and investors around the world, to gain access to reliable and timely data on Africa. Users can visualize time series development indicators over a period of time, perform comprehensive analysis at country and regional levels, utilize presentation-ready graphics or create their own, blog, and share their views and work with others, thereby creating an informed community of users.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The Open Data Platform initiative is a response by the African Development Bank Group aimed at significantly increasing access to quality data necessary for managing and monitoring development results in African countries, including the MDGs.

We’re coming to you.”</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Chehadé made his comments during the Africa Multi-stakeholder Internet Governance meeting in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The two-day meeting ended Friday after drawing Internet leaders from across the continent. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />“We will have ICANN staff, at least one, in each of the 6 regions of Africa. North, South, East, West, Central and the Indian Ocean,” said Chehadé. “I want African on-ramps into the ICANN structures. I will give you the on-ramps, but you need to climb them.”</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The ICANN leader also said he would like to see a dramatic increase in the number of accredited Domain Name Registrars on the African continent. Currently there are only five accredited Registrars in Africa among more than one thousand worldwide, but Chehadé said he wants to see that number increase five-fold in less than two years. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />“This is about us moving the needle forward. Africa will not wait,” said Chehadé. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The two-day event in Addis Ababa was attended by some two hundred people, including Ministers and other government representatives, leaders from the African business community, civil society and from ICANN structures in Africa; AFTLD and AFRALO. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The multi-stakeholder IG event was co-organized by the African Union, ISOC-Africa, AFRINIC and the African IGF. It was preceded by a two-day workshop about the development of the DNS Industry in Africa.</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />During the event the implementation of an African Strategy for better engagement in Africa was discussed in detail. This strategy was prepared by representatives from the African community last summer and announced during the ICANN meeting in Toronto in October. Fadi Chehadé reiterated ICANN’s commitment to help implement the three-year strategy in coordination with our global and regional partners in Africa.</span> </div> <div class="yiv1044792565MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363208029756_2605"> <span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">  </span></div> <div class="yiv1044792565MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363208029756_2602"> <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363208029756_2604"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363208029756_2603" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Distributed by the African Press Organization on behalf of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)</span></i></div> </div>

Hayo yameelezwa leo na Afisa Mazingira wa mkoa mwa Bw. Charles Amani wakati akiota taarifa kwa naibu wazir Ofisi ya Makamu wa Rais katika Ziara ya kutembelea viwanda mjini Mwanza. <br /><br />Pamoja na changamoto hiyo mkoa pia unakabilina na upungufu wa vifaa vya udhibiti wa taka ngumu na kutokuwepo kwa teknolojia ya ufuatiliaji wa uchafuzi wa mazingira kwa hewa kutoka viwandani na kwenye magari pamoja na kutokuwa na dampo la kisasa. <br /><br />Bw. Amani maeeleza kuwa pamoja na changamoto hizo, jiji la mwanza limekuwa likiongoza kwa usafi wa mazingira kwa kipindi cha miaka saba mfululizo, kutekelezaji wa kampeni ya upandaji miti pamoja na miradi mbali mbali ya kukabiliana na mabadiliko ya tabia nchi kwa kushirikiana na sekta binafsi. <br /><br />Kwa upande wake Naibu Waziri Ofisi ya Makamu wa Rais Mh. Charles Kitwanga ameeleza kuwa lengo la ziara yake mkoani Mwanza si kufungia viwanda bali ni kutaka kuwa na msimamo wa pamoja na kuzingatia na kutekeleza sheria ya usimamizi wa mazingira, ili iwe yenye manufaa kwa watanzania, “lengo la kuja ni kuhakikisha sheria inafuatwa” alisisitiza. <br /><br />Mh. Waziri aliongeza kwa kusema kusema kuwa ni vyema Halmashauri na wizara husika zikajipanga ili kuona namna ya kuwapatia sehemu mbadala wananchi wanaoishi milimani bila kuwabugudhi, ili kule nako kupangwe ili kuwe na mazingira endelevu. <br /><br />Wakati huohuo, kamanda wa police wa kikosi maalum cha mazingira Nchini Bw. George Mayunga ameeleza kuwa jeshi la police lipo tayari kupambana na wahalifu wa mazingira,ili kujenga mazingira endelevu.</span></div> </div>

It is the key for firms to compete successfully in the global marketplace.” <br /><br />Mr. Gurry added that “intellectual property is an indispensable mechanism for translating knowledge into commercial assets – IP rights create a secure environment for investment in innovation and provide a legal framework for trading in intellectual assets.” He noted that investment in knowledge creation, and the maintenance of a robust and balanced IP system, should feature prominently in any strategy to ensure sustainable economic growth, and pledged the Organization’s commitment in assisting countries to develop national innovation strategies. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Mr. Toshihiro Kose, Director General, Trademark, Design and Administrative Affairs Department, Japan Patent Office, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, said “Japan is fully committed to supporting the development of Africa’s IP systems through its funds-in-trust for Africa and LDCs program that is managed by WIPO.” Mr. Kose stressed that “effective IP systems stimulate innovation.” He pointed out that this conference is the largest organized this fiscal year through its funds-in-trust program, adding, “I hope it will be a successful occasion to foster a better environment for accelerating protection and utilization of IP in Africa.” </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The conference brings together ministers responsible for IP related matters, ministers for science and technology, heads of IP offices, as well as representatives of research and development (R&D) institutions and innovation centers, entrepreneurs from small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs), major industrial companies operating in Africa, regional economic communities and regional financial institutions to discuss a wide-ranging agenda on how the continent can best capitalize on IP for promoting innovation. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />The </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.wipo.int/meetings/en/details.jsp?meeting_id=28686">main topics</a> that will be covered during the conference are: <br />Innovation policies and strategies;<br />Use of existing knowledge and information to promote innovation and technology transfer (including patent databases, technology and innovation support center (TISC), Patentscope, WIPO Re:Search, etc), along with appropriate innovation research training, tools and techniques, to find solutions to problems to today’s most pressing policy challenges;<br />Use of the IP system to promote and capture innovation in Africa and identify the common elements of an effective innovation policy and the IP elements that should be integrated into such a policy. <br /><br />Ministers and senior officials taking part in the conference will remain in Dar es Salaam to participate in a meeting jointly organized by WIPO and the United Nation’s Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) on March 14, 2013.

Maalim Seif: Viongozi wapasa kufanya kazi kwa uadilifu

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-size: large;">Katibu Mkuu wa CUF Maalim Seif Sharif Hamad amesema viongozi wa serikali wanapaswa kufanya kazi kwa uadilifu bila ya kuwabagua wananchi kwa misingi yoyote ikiwemo ya itikadi ya vyama vya siasa na udini. <br /><br />Amesema kiongozi akishachaguliwa kuongoza serikali katika ngazi yoyote, anakuwa kiongozi wa wananchi na anapaswa kuwatumikia wananchi wote kwa kuwapatia huduma na haki zao zinazostahiki. <br /><br />Maalim Seif ambaye pia ni Makamu wa Kwanza wa Rais wa Zanzibar ameeleza hayo katika ziara yake ya siku moja ya kutembelea miradi ya maendeleo na shughuli za kichama katika Wilaya ya Temeke mjini Dar es Salaam. <br /><br />Maalim Seif ametoa kauli hiyo baada ya kupokea malalamiko kutoka kwa baadhi ya watendaji wa serikali za mitaa, juu ya kuwepo kwa ubaguzi katika utoaji wa huduma muhimu kwa wananchi. <br /><br />Miongoni mwa mitaa iliyolalamikiwa ni pamoja na mtaa wa Magogoni katika Jimbo la Kigamboni pamoja na kata ya Keko katika Jimbo la Temeke. <br /><br />Hata hivyo Maalim Seif amewapongeza watendaji wa CUF wanaoshikilia serikali za mitaa mbali mbali ya Dar es Salaam kwa kutoa huduma muhimu bila ya malipo kwa wananchi wote, na kuvitaka vyama vyengine kuiga mfano huo. <br /><br />Amesema kufanya hivyo ni sehemu ya utekelezaji wa sera za CUF ambazo zinalenga kusogeza karibu huduma muhimu za kijamii na kuzitoa bila ya malipo kwa wananchi, na hatimaye kutimiza azma yake kutoa haki sawa kwa wananchi wote. <br /><br />Katika ziara hiyo Maalim Seif ameahidi kumaliza ujenzi wa visima vinne vya maji katika kata ya Tungi Kigamboni, ili viweze kutoa huduma kwa wananchi wa eneo hilo. <br /><br />Akizungumza katika mkutano wa hadhara uliofanyika viwanja vya Zakiem Temeke, Maalim Seif ameviomba vyombo vya dola kuimarisha ulinzi Bara na Zanzibar ili kuzuia vitendo vya kihalifu vinavyoonekana kujitokeza kwa kasi katika siku za hivi karibuni. <br /><br />Amesema vitendo hivyo ni vya kusikitisha na wala haviendani na utamaduni wa Watanzania, na kuiomba serikali ya Muungano kuangalia uwezekano wa kuitisha mjadala wa kitaifa ili kutathmini chanzo cha maovu hayo. <br /><br />Amefahamisha kuwa suala la ulinzi na usalama wa raia na mali zao ni jukumu la serikali ya Muungano, lakini iwapo litatolewa katika orodha ya mambo ya Muungano Zanzibar itaweza kujilinda na kuzuia uhalifu. <br /><br />“Namuomba ndugu yangu Rais Jakaya Kikwete asiyachukulie matukio haya kwa wepesi, ni vyema awaongoze Watanzania kupata majibu ya masuala mazito kama hayo”, alifahamisha Maalim Seif na kuongeza, <br /><br />“Nashangaa wakati haya yakitokea hakuna kiongozi yoyote wa serikali aliyewajibika, na badala yake wanakuja Zanzibar wanatoa kauli zisizokuwa na msingi eti ni ugaidi”, alisisitiza. <br /><br />Ameelezea haja ya matokeo ya uchunguzi wa mauwaji ya Padri Evarist Mushi yaliyotokea Zanzibar yawekwe bayana, ili mataifa na wananchi waweze kujiridhisha juu ya yale yaliyotokea. <br /><br />Kwa upande wake Mwenyekiti wa CUF Wilaya ya Temeke Rehema Kawambwa amewataka wanawake wa Wilaya hiyo kujitokeza kwa wingi kugombea nafasi za uongozi ndani ya chama hicho katika uchaguzi unaotarajiwa kuanza mwezi ujao. <br /><br />Hassan Hamad (OMKR).</span> </div> </div>

Exset Reveals $20 Technology that Powers Digital Monetisation System for Africa

This means that revenues can be generated not only via a very low subscription fee, but also via interactive transactions and information dissemination.”</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />By taking the popular application model whereby the core processing is carried out centrally with the content then distributed when the application is accessed via the TV screen, low power set-top boxes can be deployed to receive services. Exset has created a flexible and graphically pleasing template-based onscreen system that’s populated using an Exset-developed content publishing technology. This can be accessed via those who have paid to disseminate content, be that government departments like health and education, local service providers or teleshopping operations. This interactive content publisher is accessed via the internet and is similar in concept to a website content management system. </span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Ellis says, “The publisher is the key to the business model. The interactive content can be changed through the day to suit different demographics, from the young to the old and anywhere in between depending on the time of day. The content distribution carousel rotates every two minutes so that the content can be truly dynamic. Operators can then sell space and access to the publisher. Digitisation in developing countries is about getting a 200-300 Mbit/s pipe into people’s homes of digital data – effectively that’s what digital broadcast networks allow. Most of it will be used for TV channel delivery but there’s the opportunity now to get vital services – as well as lifestyle interactivity – into people’s homes.”</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br />Rahul Nehra, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Exset, says, “Across Africa the TV screen offers the most potent and low-cost way of reaching populations on the wrong side of the digital divide. Exset is proud of the technology that it has developed and the fact that by keeping the cost of receivers so low, access to the technology is open at all points along the chain – from pay-TV operators to those who wish to deploy interactive services to the end user.”</span> <span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div> <div class="yiv431526575MsoNoSpacing" id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363032316653_3074"> <i id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363032316653_3073"><span id="yui_3_7_2_1_1363032316653_3072" lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">Distributed by the African Press Organization on behalf of Exset.</span></i></div> </div>
