ICT: Government publishes document on ‘e-Maroc' strategy
The Ministry-Delegate in charge of General and Economic Affairs has published the first document on ‘e-Maroc' (e-Morocco) strategy, which is part of a communication package aiming to give a clear vision on the future objectives and perspectives of the development of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Morocco.
The package, composed of a CD-ROM and six booklets, contains information about the five axes of ‘e-Maroc' strategy. It includes “e-government: ICT for good governance”; “ICT and Enterprises: ICT for competitiveness”; “ICT Industry: potentials and perspectives”; “Digital Public Space: ICT Vector of democratisation".
The document, which will be continuously updated to reflect the evolution of the different programmes of this strategy, also includes a leaflet entitled: “e-Morocco: knowledge economy on the move”.
The leaflet provides details on the assets that make Morocco a platform for the production and exportation of ICT. It explains the expansion of the telecoms sector, the great development of offshoring, and the rise of the ICT industry.
The document presents the ‘e-Maroc 2010' vision as the fruit of a national dialogue and a broad collaboration between all the actors concerned with the development of knowledge economy in the Kingdom.
Set up within the framework of a partnership between the government and the private sector, ‘e-Maroc 2010' constitutes a true road map for the development of ICT in Morocco.
This strategy, first introduced in 1994 by, then, the Secretariat of State of Post, Telecommunication and Information Technology, aims at bridging the digital divide and finding a position for Morocco at the international level.
The development of ICT in Morocco has gained increasing importance as both the public and private sector have realised its importance in building a strong economic infrastructure.
