I also second this....in the last few years Africa has experience remarkable improvement in IT development with support from continent and non-continent bodies...this is another opportunity and i think the funds should be properly managed(for some projects that are run in Africa; the budget to buy cars-jeeps at times covers almost half of the total project funds...laughs). I hope we are not in that category and the funds will be utilized on this that matters....<br>
A good way to commence, to ensure faster delivery of this project could be to partner with existing national ixp... I wish the team good luck and remember "all eyes are on you" smiles....<br>Looking forward to reading further updates as things unfold.<br>
