e-Citizens Web Site Launch

EITD Research is pleased to announce the launch of its e-Citizens project web site. Launch date - October 28, 2004. Web site address: www.e-citizens.net  

The e-Citizens project seeks to encourage civil society to organize and participate more effectively in governance. Its objectives include:

•  Collation and dissemination of governance issues information;
•  Informing decision making in government;
•  Consolidating freedom in boosting literacy levels; and,
•  Helping to transform ways of thinking and working with the Internet and related technologies in Cameroon.

The new web site contains useful information about the project and links to other major Cameroon governance information sites.

The e-Citizens project will be delighted to hear from people and organizations interested in reporting governance issues as they are seen, recorded and discussed. Those with access to computers and the Internet (in cyber cafes, university and school laboratories, public and private offices, for example), can follow and participate in project efforts actively, and help heighten attention to the range of governance issues and efforts to resolve them in Cameroon.
