GeSCI publishes new papers on the Knowledge Society

The four papers, which were commissioned by GeSCI, will inform the conceptual framework for the Africa Leadership in ICT (ALICT) program; a three year partnership between GeSCI, the African Union Commission (AUC) and the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland. Each paper treats different knowledge society themes including innovation, leadership, ICT and education, and science and technology. The initial findings were presented to key ALICT stakeholders at a consultative workshop held in December in Nairobi, where Neil Butcher, presented his seminal paper entitled, ICT, Education, Development, and the Knowledge Society. Edmond Gaible authored the paper, Education Change, Leadership and the Knowledge Society. The IST division of UNECA authored Innovation and change and the knowledge society, and Science and Technology and the Knowledge Society in Africa.
