In conclusion, information and communication technologies have the potential to propel the vision of The African Renaissance into reality; however, the form in which IT is deployed would determine the level to which rural poverty alleviation goals are accomplished. African intellectuals should play central roles in genuine partnership with Northern compatriots and Africans in the Diaspora. That partnership should result in a blend of knowledge systems and harmony among technology, culture and education. In essence, African connectivity should be conscious of the cultural and technological realities of the rural Africa and should seek to enhance the human capacity building process. This we are committed to and the workshop. We solicit for your collaboration/assistance, which will also project the image and mandate of your organization/ministry mission-statement, because your ministry/organization name and endeavors will be projected in the workshop proceedings, banners, posters, and multi-medias.
We will be very grateful, if you or your organization assist/collaborate with us in actualizing this workshop.
