Greetings!

The members of the Executive Committee of The Ghana Distance Education
Project (GDEP) would like to invite you to attend the Ghana Computer
Literacy & Distance Education [GhaCLAD] Conference.  The GhaCLAD Conference
will be held in Accra, Ghana, West Africa, from May 20-22, 1998.

This conference will address various issues concerned with providing access
to educational/computer technology in Ghana, and across Africa.  The
initiatives of the Ghana distance Education Project are as follows:

1. To explore means of utilizing computers, telecommunications, audio/visual
media and information technology to enhance primary, secondary, tertiary,
vocational, professional development and continuing adult education in Ghana;

2. To strengthen the capacity of grassroots organizations, low-income
communities and local schools to initiate, choose, plan and manage their own
self-help projects through information technology and telecommunications;

3. To create a demonstration effect on public opinion in terms of what
information technology, electronic networking and community-based computing
can offer for national and international development; and

4. To increase awareness of how the computer and electronic connectivity
can re-orient youth groups toward the economy and labor market of the 21st
century.

We are looking to educators, academics, researchers, government officials,
Information Technology managers and practitioners, business leaders and
policy makers from around the world to join us at the Accra conference.

We believe that your ideas will enhance and lend support to our worthy
cause and we would like to personally invite you to the conference, and to
submit a
paper for presentation if you so choose.

Our web site will provide you with detailed information:

We look forward to seeing you in Ghana, in May.


Sincerely,
