Africa recognises that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) offers significant opportunities to address current demands whilst simultaneously redressing historical legacies and repositioning the continent for a better future. There are concurrently a multitude of initiatives, including e-government, free open source software (FOSS), ICT policy harmonisation and building bandwidth infrastructure, being researched and implemented across Africa.

The Idlelo 3 Conference will look inside the "black box" of ICT and will investigate critical questions with respect to the Knowledge Economy in Africa. Included will be questions of know-whys, know-how's, know-what's, know-where and know-when's. These types of critical questions are considered vital to capacitating a vibrant and forward-looking Africa where the utilisation of knowledge contributes to economic expansion, social integration and democratic governance. It is widely recognised that learning, capacity-development, capability-formation, competence-building and knowledge creation are the important tools in ensuring a sustainable knowledge economy.
