27 January 2009
In Malawi, the government is rolling out a program to provide information and communication technology (ICT) services to people in rural areas by the year 2012. The effort aims to bridge what authorities call the 'digital divide' that exists between the inhabitants of rural and urban districts. Half of Malawi's 28 districts have been earmarked for the initial phase of the project. The areas selected as the first to receive Internet services include Karonga, Kasungu and Mwanza.
