The strengthening of management will best be delivered as part of wider ICT services provision, and network administration strengthening. Challenges associated with the policy and management environments are critical in relation to the wider environment in which ICTs and BMO sit.

Also related to strengthening policy and management environments is improved ICT leadership at the institutional level.Text1 digital file (15 p.)enBROADBANDNETWORK ANALYSISNETWORK BACKBONESCONNECTIVITYUNIVERSITY COOPERATIONACCESS TO KNOWLEDGECAPACITY BUILDINGNATIONAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION NETWORKING (NREN)REGIONAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION NETWORKSICT POLICYAFRICAIDRC Final Report
