 Welcome to the World Summit on the Information Society 2017. I am very pleased to be joined by the Chairman-Elect of the WSIS Forum, Mr Jean-Philbert N. Singamina. You are also Minister of Youth and ICT in Rwanda. Thank you very much for joining us. Thank you for having me. So to start with, can you tell us about the role ICTs play in sustainable development goals? ICT cuts across all the 17 goals and 169 targets. I can't think of anything that today you can accomplish without having an element of new technology and ICT will basically help to push, drive the ICTs on two fronts. One is a speed because when you apply ICT, you can reach your goal much faster. The second is efficiency which brings the element of lowering the cost of achieving STJs. So whatever you take, whether you are talking about education or agriculture or environment or peacekeeping, ICT will be there to be used just as a tool but as an enabler. These are two different things. It is the environment in which everything happens and without which nothing happens. So can you tell us about the specific efforts that are being made in Rwanda, for instance, regarding ICT and SDGs? Everything that is being done in Rwanda is aligned with our vision 2020 and soon to be refreshed, upgraded to 2050 with our five-year poverty eradication strategic plan. But also with SDGs, previously Rwanda aligned our processes to MDGs and were able, perhaps one of the very few countries in Africa that were able to achieve all the MDGs and we are on the way to do the same for the SDGs. We are now better prepared, we are in a better position. We've invested in what it took to realize the MDGs now. I think it's going to be fun, it's going to be a good ride driving the SDGs but if I can pick three examples that are very relevant to the discussion. One is the transformation of key sectors of our economy. And I'm talking about agriculture, I'm talking about education, I'm talking about government administration, I'm talking about trade. So if I take education, for instance, today we are talking about providing the same opportunities to our kids than anyone else in this world has in terms of access to the quality contents that they need to compete for the jobs of tomorrow which we actually don't know. So preparing that generation to be critical thinkers for the soft skills they need to be competitive in the economies of tomorrow, I think it's a critical role that only ICT can play. When you talk about healthcare, in Rwanda we've launched the distribution of blood using drones just to illustrate how these technologies can save lives and you have examples of people, mothers whose lives were saved, you know, after a bath they get hemorrhage and then in 15 minutes you get their blood type which was very rare, in other circumstances impossible to get it on time. So we have those stories of lives saved through use of ICT. And on public administration I'm talking about building the trust and the confidence of the people in the government, in the ability of government to provide services 24 hour basis self-service and really make the citizen participate in shaping policies and programs. So that's what I have in Rwanda but the other thing is we are moving beyond just use of ICT as tools but contributing to research and development and especially making sure that we shift gears from just being mere consumers to start producing in the context of the fourth industrial revolution. That's an interesting point and you alluded to it earlier because you talked about young people in ICT. Now the fact that in your home country you're both minister of use and ICT is not just a coincidence is it? It is not a coincidence, 65% of our active labour force are young people and when we define young people we talk about 16 to 30 years of age and 78% of the population is under the age of 35. So we are talking about this huge demographic dividend, you know the youth barge which can be a dividend or a risk depending on whether you invest in them or not. So in Rwanda prison Kagame has decided that since the young people are the ones at the engine of development, they are the ones that can bring innovation much faster. They are the ones that can embrace the risk, they embrace the change, they drive the change and they are tech savvy. For them it's so easy to learn these technologies and to create stuff, prison decided to join these two portfolios and I want to say that if you want to see that live, join us on 19 to 21st of July we're going to be hosting the Youth Connect Africa Summit where having special guests like Jack Ma joining us to really show how young people just equipped with access to technology can really drive the digital transformation, make money and grow economies. Minister, thank you very much. Thank you so much to you.
