[The Pan-African Documentation and Information System (PADIS)].


 The formal inauguration of the Pan-African Documentation and Information System (PADIS) took place at ECA, Addis Ababa, on 30 January 1981. The main objective of PADIS is to provide ready access to information required by policy makers, technicians, planners and others engaged in the economic and social development of African States. PADIS is designed to serve African countries by: 1) identifying and collecting African information resources; 2) promoting information exchange; 3) ensuring access to both published and unpublished documents produced in Africa on all questions relating to economic, social, scientific and technological development; 4) providing support services to organizations working on economic and social problems in African countries; 5) providing assistance to member states of ECA to strengthen their national information infrastructure; 6) supporting information activites of specialized regional and subregional organizations working in the development field; 7) establishing links with international information networks; 8) providing a Pan-African information system; 9) organizing the necessary training programs for PADIS users; and 10) establishing technical procedures to ensure the system's compatibility with existing national and international information systems.
