Specifically, I am looking for information and contacts with regards to a paper I am preparing on ICT capacity-building and research and development (R&D) in African countries. I would thus appreciate documents, reports, Web sites, and information about ICT capacity-building and R&D activities in African countries. Please note that this is a continent-wide survey, so send me information and contacts (especially names, e-mail addresses, and phone numbers) you can provide for any country in Africa.<br><br>I should also mention that this is an informal solicitation for a start, and I will work the relevant AU staff to send out a more official request for
information.<br><br>Finally, please pardon me for the cross-posting on different mailing lists.<br><br>Have a great weekend, and best wishes!<br><br>Sincerely,<br><br>Katim<br><br></div><br>
