World Bank to Invest $215 Million to Boost Internet in Africa
The World Bank says it will spend $215 million to help central African countries provide better quality and more affordable high-speed Internet service.
The bank noted that the funds will be used to build a broadband Internet infrastructure in 11 African countries.
It is argued that this is to further boost connectivity in central African countries as they currently offer the worst quality and most expensive internet services in the continent.

The Amy Mahan Research Fellowship Program
We are happy to announce the launch of the Amy Mahan Research Fellowship Program to Assess the Impact of Public Access to ICT, a capacity-building component of the Global Impact Study named in honor of Amy Mahan, a dear friend and partner. This fellowship will award up to 12 Research Fellowships to teams of emerging scholars from developing countries in Africa and the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America and the Caribbean.Do computer games and chat build useful skills?
The Non-instrumental Use of ICT as a Component of General ICT Skill Acquisition Study will explore the benefits library and telecenter users gain from playing computer games, sending email, and chatting. These types of uses — known as "non-instrumental" — are often ignored in studies on public access to ICT. But we suspect that they can help people develop the comfort, skills, and expertise they need to improve their social and economic situations, particularly in the areas of employment and education.Benefits of sharing — when public access is the best access
Sharing a computer in a telecenter, cybercafé, or library is the only option for some people — often because they lack the income, skills, or infrastructure at home. But sometimes people prefer sharing computers in public-access venues. The Collaborative Knowledge Sharing Study examines the reasons why. Researchers will visit a dozen public access venues in Ghana — large and small, rural and urban, upscale and relatively modest — to identify when sharing enhances or diminishes a user’s experience as compared to individual or private use.News & Blogs from External Sources
