 Welcome to the World Summit on the Information Society 2016 here in Geneva, Switzerland. And I'm joined by Ren Esomage of Evolving Consulting. Ren, you are organising a workshop this afternoon on the digital economy for development. So what's the link between how can the digital economy actually foster development? Well, it has been widely said that digital economy will bring a lot of transformation within our society, create new jobs, wealth and several other things. What we want to stress this afternoon is the fact that we have only half of the worldwide population on the internet and that if we want to achieve a successful and sustainable digital economy, we need to get more and more people on board. So we need actually to look a little bit after the digital inclusion. We need to look after people who are not digitally literate or native and who don't have access to the internet. And I imagine that access to the internet is a particular issue in Africa, which is why you've been holding since 2010 these ICT days for African women. Can you tell me about them? Well, basically when we started in 2010, it was a kind of digital education. That was the main purpose. And then we found that when people have kind of basic knowledge into ICT, then they need to know a little bit more about how to use it. They need to be trained on coding and all those things. So we are just trying to move every year with people and give a kind of digital education and bring them into this world, this new world. And what sort of response do you get? Basically, when we are talking to youth, this is something that is a kind of entreative because digital is a little bit in their DNA, so they got into it very easily. And when it comes to very mature people, we are trying to apply what we call technology by usage. And I have a very good example with my parents using Viber because they have children that are living in Europe and when you call your children every day, it costs a lot. And you discover a Viber and see, well, this is free and you get the information very quickly. You can reach them very easily. So those are the kind of things where we are trying to just show the positive aspect of digital in their daily life. And you mentioned your parents and you say you're from Cameroon. Cameroon is a massive country, of course. Tell me, how is Cameroon progressing on the road to transforming digitally? The country actually started in 2011 by creating the regulatory framework, the ICT regulatory framework and even going further on consumer protection and all those things. And after that, they started some very big infrastructure project. One of the biggest project is called the Central African Backbone. And in parallel to that, they set up what they call the E-POST infrastructure, which is a very big data center that was built with a partnership with Chinese government. And now it's another stage where we are looking more into the application and the services, especially the E-Government and the E-Administration. And this is the next step done in cooperation with the African Development Bank. Thank you very much, Rene Esomarje, for being with us this afternoon. Thank you for having me. And you will find many of the interviews that we do with experts from industry, civil society and academia on the YouTube channel of the ITU this week, live from the WSIS Forum here in Geneva, Switzerland.
