Development of New Technologies of Information and Communication
2. Policy for development of basic infrastructure necessary for the penetration of these
technologies in all spheres of national life
3. A policy of human resource development in this sector
4. Policy for development of business applications for New Technologies
Information and Communication highlighting the potential of each region
5. A policy of regional and international cooperation firmly committed to support this
ambition, through redeployment of cultural exchange South-South and North-South, in favor of
