Abstract

There is no doubt that the need for all around improvement of performance is very urgent for African governments and that ICT is valuable in decision-making, planning and management support in all sectors of the economy. In this regard, in Africa, there is a clear recognition of the opportunities than can be exploited using ICT within the framework of enhancing governance. As underlined by the United Nations Development Programme¾Human Development Report 2001, “Making New Technologies Work for Human Development”, technology networks are transforming the traditional map of development, expanding people’s horizons, and creating the potential to realize in a decade progress that required generations in the past.
