Connect Africa is a project undertaken by
UNCTAD in partnership with the Observatoire Technologique (Technology
Institute) of the Centre des Technologies de l´ Information (Information
Technologies Centre) of the State of Geneva in Switzerland.
The project provides
customized training to ICT engineers and technicians from the least
developed countries of Africa. Lesotho is the first pilot country to benefit
from Connect Africa. The project has provided Lesotho with 220 computers
accompanied by software installation and open-source solutions for servers
and clients, for use in a number of areas, including schools.
Connect Africa is also helping to create a technical division within
Lesotho´s Ministry of Communications, Science and Technology. Mali will be
the next pilot country, and project preparations are now under-way.
