Abstract

The project aims to catalyze and support development of national research and education networks (NRENs) in Africa and raise the awareness of key policy decision makers about the continuing importance of building network infrastructures and applications. The focus for this phase was West and Central Africa. There is a need to develop country blueprints and strategies in terms of network and services, and the policy, regulatory and resources support they wish to secure from the government. Recognition by governments of the importance of NRENS in policy documents is a first step. Capacity building with project outputs and outcomes are reviewed.
