 We're here at the ITU's studio in Geneva and I'm very pleased to welcome Dr. James Ngaro and Jeru, a rapporteur of a study group two, question one slash two, creating the smart society, social and economic development through ICT applications. What do you think will be the major outcome for the study question you're involved in? The major outcomes of our question one slash two is that we're going fast to provide an explanation or a concept of what smart society is. One of the major things which we expect will be providing is a clear guidance on what we should be focusing in terms of the scope and the services which will be provided within a smart society. Currently the one smartness has been used in most nations and most regions to envisage how the countries and the nations would be able to achieve their vision of being smart and it has mainly been used in terms of tools, in terms of buildings, in terms of cars, funds and all these look at how technology is being utilized to ensure that it is increased productivity, increased efficiency and competitiveness within the entire sector. So one of our outputs is then to try and make sure that people understand when we talk of smart society what is it that should be encompassed in the definition of smart society. How relevant is the study question in relation to the attainment of the sustainable development goals? This question is very relevant when it comes to the attainment of the SDGs. Out of the 17 SDGs about 15 of them do require the involvement of the ICT and the use of ICT is being seen as an enabler in utilizing the equipment, the technology and the software so that we can be able to have the developing countries achieve most of the SDGs. We require a society that is smart enough so that they can be able to utilize the information technologies and also improve on health, on education, on agriculture, on energy and transport. Therefore we see our output for the question will enable the developing countries to be able to achieve the SDGs. What would you say has been the contribution of ITUD study groups to the overall development of the ICT sector? The ICT sector is a very dynamic sector and the law of ITUD is that it provides us with an opportunity to be able to share information on what different nations especially the developing countries, what they have been able to innovate, what they have been able to implement and how those experiences can be shared with the developing countries. Therefore that they can be able to benchmark and be able to learn from the experiences of the developed countries. When we meet within the development sector group meetings, one of the most important things which we do is to share the experiences. The questions which are normally presented and discussed are about experiences which developing countries and developed countries all together share among each other. So it is important in the sense that it gives us an enabling environment that we can be able to benchmark within each other and also learn from the challenges and the benefits, the opportunities which other member states have also been able to. And also it assists the sector groups who are involved in the innovation to be able to show their case studies on the areas which they have been able to innovate and how these can be applied within the new states in the developing countries. Thank you very much, Dr. James Jero.
