Rwanda leads Africa in ICT revolution

Thanks to ambitious government initiatives in developing Rwanda's telecommunications infrastructure, the country's ICT sector - including mobile phone and fibre optic networks as well as PC and Internet access - has become a primary target of both international, public and private investment in recent years.

 
Named East Africa's number one ICT nation by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Rwanda has benefited from ICT-based investments by lucrative international players such as Microsoft, Nokia, and Terracom.
The country's current ICT sector budget is on a par with nations of the Organisation of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), a grouping of 30 rich nations, at 1.6 percent, far above the African average.
