Technology in Government in Africa (TIGA) Awards aim to recognise the work of African Governments in the effective use of ICTs for public services delivery as part of ECA's African Information Society Initiative (AISI) and Canada's ICTs for development programme. The Awards are aimed at African Governments and institutions based in Africa that are engaged in initiating, developing, and implementing ICTs for public services in Africa contributing to the development of the Information Society in Africa. The aims are to:
-Create greater awareness on the role of ICTs in the public services and the development process within the framework of the African Information Society Initiative (AISI);
-Encourage African Governments and institutions to use ICTs for development in general and improved public/citizen's services in particular; and
-Motivate other African stakeholders in effective utilization of ICTs for citizen's services.

This pioneering African programme will publicly recognise the innovation, excellence, and leadership in Africa's public sector e-government development. It will be recognised as an honour to be nominated for TIGA Awards, and a significant public sector career achievement for the team members to be selected as an Award Winner. The TIGA Award is intended to be a biannual event to honour African Governments and institutions.
