ACACIA Initiative
|
|
ACACIA
is aimed at establishing the potential of Information and
Communications Technologies to empower poor African communities.
It does this by:
- demonstrating
how ICTs can enable communities to solve their development
problems in ways that build on local goals, cultures, strengths,
and processes
- building
a body of knowledge capable of identifying the policies,
technologies, approaches, and methodologies instrumental
in promoting the affordable and effective use of ICTs by
marginalized communities, such as women
Led
by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) Canada,
Acacia supports the African Information Society Initiative
(AISI)
