The impact of ICTs on MDGs : context for diffusion and adoption of ICT innovations in East and Southern Africa

The major problem of underdevelopment in Africa characterized by the huge challenge to achieve the millennium development goals (MDGs) is on knowledge empowerment supported by information and communication technologies (ICTs). Information has become a strategic resource, a commodity and foundation of every activity. The emergence and convergence of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has remained at the centre of global socio-economic transformations. If implemented properly and carefully, these technologies could reduce or eliminate the imbalance between rich and poor, and the powerful and marginalized.
