The workshop fostered deliberations on e-governance among varied stakeholders from the public & private sectors, government parastatals, policy-making agencies and academia in the two countries. WoSTEG2020 was recognised for its notable contributions to Knowledge Exchange (KEF), which was particularly reported in the Zambia Times
