Recommendations for increasing advancement of ICT:
Effective ICT Policy
Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) are serving an important
role in the transformation of the African continent: Health, Education, Agriculture,
Government services, and many more…
Policy choices have a profound effect on the performance of the ICT industry
and consequentially how many people use ICT.
Multiple connectivity medium, should be utilized to address the advancing
needs of the communications ICT needs of the continent.
• Common ICT policies include creating a regulator and licensing scheme, investment or assistance in the construction
of infrastructure, introducing ICT programs into schools, and creating initiatives to promote universal access to these
new technologies.
• Through policy, Governments have the opportunity and the power to significantly alter how an ICT industry develops,
and how successful it is. Good policy can overcome inequalities in development, build better infrastructure, and shape
how companies approach their market and build their customer base.
