The Authority on May 17, 2009, joined the rest of the world in commemorating World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) whose theme this year is “Protecting children in cyberspace”.
In Zambia, Communications Authority in collaboration with Ministry of Communication and Transport is coordinating the activities to be held in commemoration of this day. Stakeholders in the ICT sector have been involved in the preparation of a programme to sensitize the Zambian public on the importance of protecting our children from the negative elements of Cyber-security.
The activities scheduled for this event include an exhibition at Mulungushi International Conference Centre from May 17 to 22, 2009 to coincide with International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Regional Development Forum and the Forum on Telecommunication/ICT Regulation and Partnership in Africa (FTRA 2009) which are being hosted in Zambia.
Other activities are a March Past and discussions and theatre performances in which children shall participate. This year’s theme aims at ensuring that children can safely access the Internet and its valuable resources without fear of falling prey to unscrupulous predators in cyberspace and is expected to influence our work not only on the Day but throughout the year and in the future as well.
