Summary of Relevant Experience
Luci has been involved in the world of ICTs and development from 1995, when she worked in the Gauteng Provincial Government with oversight over IT matters in the GPG administration. In 1996, she led a GPG study tour to Malaysia and Singapore with participation from various GPG departments to explore the ways in which ICTs could be used to develop an “intelligent province”.
During her term of office she led a research study to design an Information and Communications Strategy for the National Assembly, NCOP and provincial legislatures under the EU Parliamentary Support Programme.
She was instrumental in the establishment of the precursor of the LINK Centre in September 1996, including early stage curriculum design and training delivery. She was also Chairperson of the National Information Technology Forum from 1996 to 1998.
She initiated a major e-government project at the Department of Social Development in October 1998, publishing a Request for Information for a service that could address the major obstacles to providing effective access and delivery of grant payments to citizens with the support of ICTs.
While pursuing a variety of interests over the past three years, she has done significant preparatory research in the field of ICTs and development and e-government for developing and presenting the LINK courses: Certificate in Information and Knowledge Management for the Public Sector and the Certificate in E-Government.
She serves as a member of the National Advisory Council on Innovation (NACI), the advisory body to the Minister of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology on innovation matters. She recently participated in a South African delegation to Finland to study the Finnish National System of Innovation.
She was appointed to the Board of Directors of the State Information Technology Agency (SITA) in June 2002.
