Telecommunications roadshow goes to Petite Soufriere

The second edition of the Dominica leg of the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) ICT Roadshow moves to the remote, rural community of Petite Soufriere on Thursday December 29th 2011. Designed to raise regional awareness of the innovative approaches required for the effective application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in every sphere of endeavour, the theme for the Roadshow is Harnessing the Power of Innovation – the engine for ICT-enabled Caribbean development. The event at Petite Soufriere is part of a Community Outreach Program launched in November 2011 to sensitize communities around the island to the nature and objectives of the Roadshow, while the main Roadshow event will be hosted in Roseau from January 16th to 19th 2012. The Community Outreach Program has so far consisted primarily of highlighting of e-government initiatives like the ASUCUDA World solution already deployed at the ports, the Unified Land Information system (ULIS), the Agricultural Information Management System (AIMS) and the government website (www.dominica.gov.dm)
