4 Since the last participation in RAS: Became Consultive member of the CPLP (IO); Organized the IX Ministerial Meeting of CPLP (1st in the last 12 years) Assumed the Permanent Secretariat fo the Ministerial Meeting; Developed a study on Universal Service in the CPLP (with ITU); Is starting 2 other studies: e-commerce (with ITU and UNCITRAL); Smart Harbors (with ITU and APLOP) Initiated the Digital Agenda Study for CPLP

5 1. INTRODUCTION: DIGITAL AGENDA 5

6 Digital Agenda: Structure The study is organized in five parts: Part I Introduction and Framework Part II CPLP: its Macroeconomic Indicators and Relevant ICT s Part III Main trends in the Digital World Part IV Digital Strategies and Iniciatives in CPLP Part V In the path of a Digital Agenda for CPLP

7 1. Introduction IX CPLP Ministers of Communications Meeting Maputo, Recognized the need to work on a Digital Agenda for the CPLP Acknowledgment that we live on a new paradigm in the Communications framework on which ICT s can boost growth, generate wealth and surpass time and space barriers. Therefore, this Digital Agenda shall be a common agenda serving the collective interests of the Community and the individual priorities of each Member State at the same time.

8 1. Introduction The Digital Agenda aims to stablish, at a medium and long term, a core strategy, a common and central guide to allow that, in a period of 10 years, the Members become: o o o o A reference in broadband access and coverage in the CPLP space; A role model in the ICT s use; A example on Information Society and Eletronic Governance; A reference in the use of the eletronic commerce in the CPLP market; o A reference in the implementation of the UN s Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030; These are the drivers for the ellaboration of a Digital Agenda for the CPLP

9 1. Introduction Project approved by ITU The project has the support of ITU and will be divided in two phases: The first phase will focus on assessment The second phase will be splitted in three different sections: i) creation of a framework based on common issues; ii) definition of a project structure to each Member; iii) definition of plans to implement the Digital Agenda adapted to each Member State; (PHASE 1) Preparatory Study (EXECUTION PHASE) Approval of the Agenda by each Member State (PHASE 2) Create a Digital Agenda model for the CPLP This Study is focused on the Phase 1

10 1. Introduction Conceptualization The aim is to create a Digital Agenda FOR the CPLP and not TO the CPLP which means that the efforts and responsibility to implement the proposals included in the Digital Agenda for the CPLP will rely on each Member State The goal is not to define a single Digital Agenda to be adopted by the Member States, since it s perceived that each Member has a different socio-economic reality. We take into account that macroeconomic elements and ICT s levels of evolution are different in each country. Considering this, the proposal is to create a common set of recommendations and orientations for the CPLP, that can be used by each country according to their national priorities. This Study can and should be used by the Members as a reference, so that their national agendas can be based in common guidelines and experiences within the CPLP space.

25 2. Indicators GRAPHICS ANALYSIS AND CONCLUSIONS The CPLP s Member States present substantial diferences in macroeconomic and ICT Indicators, which demonstrates the diversity of realities lived withitn the community space There is a group of countries more advanced in the digital domain, namely Brazil, Cape Verde and Portugal In the remaining countries it isn t possible to identify common tendencies to form heterogeneous groups, but even though, with the indicators available, we can assume that Angola, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique and East Timor could form a secondary group in digital development terms. Concluding, and even though this analysis had some lack of information sources available, it looks possible to conclude that Guinea Bissau and Sao Tome and Principe present the major needs at this level.

26 3. IN THE PATH OF A DIGITAL AGENDA FOR CPLP 26

27 COMMON DIGITAL STRENGTHS MAJOR POINTS OF DIFFERENCE Common language and similar culture Different stages in terms of ICT Indicators Similar Legal Regulatory Framework No common market (freedom of circulation) Similar Policies Different Digital Competences (absence of enforcement) 27

28 3. Digital Agenda PROPOSED CONCEPTUAL MODEL The implementation of a Digital Agenda for CPLP shall be divided in three levels: Agenda It will be a document of programatic nature, macro-objective, of strategic policies, that will define the fundamental pillars to the construction of a Digital Society and Economy in each Member State; Strategies Measures The strategies shall work on and detail further what is conceived in each pillar, identifying at the same time particular goals and key areas of intervention. These will constitute documents of political character, that shall elaborate the vision of each Member State to the implementation of the pillars on the agenda; The measures shall result in concrete actions to execute the above mentioned strategies approved and the vision adopted in the agenda. Here, it will be essential to draw on goals, responsabilities, monitorization measures, as well as evaluation measures

29 3. Digital Agenda GUIDELINES Rise the population s Digital Literacy and reduce the Digital Divide Promote the evolution of broadband networks Promote access to electronic communications and Information Society in remote areas Ensure the proximity between the citizen and the Public Administration and increase efficiency in Public Administration Promote the economic Development of keysectors through ICT Increase quality in health services and other basic services for the Population and local economy through the use of ICT Develop Investigation & Science Promote the use of ICT in the Education System Promote cooperation and digital approximation between CPLP countries Promote Sustainable Development Foster Entrepreneurship Increase Competitiveness
