After two days of thought provoking presentations and discussion, the participating delegations approved the "Kigali Declaration" that calls upon all Africa parliaments to join the Africa Parliamentary Knowledge Network (APKN) and implement a set of parliamentary initiatives to promote equitable access to information, communication and knowledge and provide for favourable institutional arrangements for the ICT sector. The full text of the the "Kigali Declaration" and be found here.

The Kigali Declaration concludes by urging parliaments to support the implementation of the Kigali Plan of Action on the Development of an Equitable Information Society in Africa by:

• setting up a repository of policy, legislation and regulation;
• training programmes for parliamentarians;
• identify common research needs;
• contribute to the online monthly thematic discussion.

All these activities will see APKN and more specifically its Information Society Africa (ISA) section take a leading role.
