Title : ePayment and eBusiness in Africa Speaker: Sagbo Pierre Dandjinou, CEO, Strategic Consulting Group (SCG) Biography: I am currently the CEO of the Strategic Consulting Group (SCG), a Consulting firm based in Cotonou, Benin, and Dakar Senegal. For 12 years, I have been a Staff member of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), as a Regional Policy Advisor on ICT for Development and e-Governance for Africa. On the African scene, I am known as one of the pioneers of Internet connectivity, having participated in many initiatives which aimed at increasing access to ICTs and its subsequent services to the marginalized portions of the society. I organized the first African conference on Internet Governance in Cotonou in 1998 and coordinated the Internet initiative for Africa of the UNDP, which helped provide the first national Internet gateways in many Africa countries.
