Abstract All universities need to connect to the global knowledge backbone in order to enhance research, innovation, teaching and learning. Yet most African countries lack reliable access to this backbone as a result of the nascent state of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in their institutions. African institutions face many challenges - infrastructural, technical, organizational and political - and are making concerted efforts to address them. This chapter examines the status and potential of ICTs in institutions in eight African countries, and offers a set of recommendations on ways to promote ICTs, as well as the development of institutions and countries in general. | ||
