The Project “Support to ICT Strategic Planning in the SADC Parliaments” intends to assist the parliaments of the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) in developing their vision and comprehensive strategic plans for the effective deployment of ICT in Parliament. It also aims to assist in strengthening national ICT Parliamentary Committees to enhance their political engagement in the national and regional e-strategy processes.

The Project is funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) in partnership with the Southern Africa Development Community Parliamentary Forum (SADC PF).
