Rwanda on course to being regional ICT hub

President Paul Kagame’s role in promoting the use of ICT in development has been given another boost. The visiting International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Secretary General, Dr Hamadoun Toure, made an acknowledgement of the President’s role in ICT development; while also inviting him, to play another leading role, in the ITU-AU Summit, slated for January, 2010. Rwanda has been steadfast in its goal of becoming a regional ICT hub. The government has made investment, through various programmes, digitally connecting all Rwandans, be it in the urban areas or rural, as spelt out in the country’s Vision 2020.
