Acacia in Kenya : a study of information and communication technologies and community development; final research report

Abstract

ACACIA was initiated in response to the call for an African Information Society Initiative (AISI) endorsed by African governments as an action framework to build Africa’s information and communication infrastructure. Between 1997 and 2000, Acacia concentrated its work in four sub-Saharan Africa countries: Mozambique, Senegal, South Africa and Uganda. The Telecommunications context in Kenya was a major determinant in the location of many of Acacia’s early projects. This report reviews activities and outcomes of the project up to this point. Five training manuals and curricula were developed in the areas of ICT.
