The annual e-Gov Africa Forum is a platform for knowledge and best practice sharing among peer groups steering information and communication technologies (ICT) projects related to the electronic delivery of healthcare, education, and governance. A flagship event of the Commonwealth Telecommunication Organisation (CTO), the 2011 forum echoes the Commonwealth’s 2012 theme: "Connecting Cultures." A special workshop is intended for parliamentarians grappling with the Internet and social media.

Key topics of the event are:

e-Gov and ICTs: national strategies and international perspectives.
