Subject: African Contacts for Inernet & Communications Services/Projects?



Hello:

I am reposting this list because it contains useful CONTACTS for E-Mail and
Internet Services in Africa, and because I would like assistance from others
in building on this list in the area of Communications and Media in Africa.

A number of countries are not represented among the contacts below.  Also,
in the several months since this list was disseminated, there have been many
new and promising projects in communications and media proposed for or
undertaken in Africa.

I am in the process of putting together a compendium of contacts for
Communications and Media in Africa, and would appreciate your sending to me
E-Mail addresses, postal addresses and phone numbers of other useful
contacts: individuals as well as organizations, with a brief summary of
their focus.

My goal is to make available information regarding useful contacts, E-Mail
addresses, project sysnopses, etc., for a cross-section of this endeavor in
Communications and Media in Africa.  At best, I realize that I will barely
be able to scratch the surface; my best hope is that this effort will
contribute to engendering useful inquiry, networking, and
cooperation.

Please send synopses of information on contacts, organizations, and
projects, to:

Cecil Washington

Thank you.

     STATEMENT BY AFRICAN ELECTRONIC SERVICE PROVIDERS

Statement made at the closing session of the Addis Ababa
Conference on Telematics for Development in Africa.

              Addis Ababa, April 7, 1995

It is with great pleasure that we have seen the importance of
African telematics raised during this meeting. We hope that
the result of the symposium will be to raise the profile of
Africa in global communications and to get more of Africa
online.

This statement is signed by service providers who speak on
behalf of their 10,000 electronic mail users in sub-Saharan
Africa.

o      Donors and member states should recognize the key
       contribution of existing service providers and it is
       strongly advised that they consult and support these
       systems in the implementation of new initiatives.

o      These functioning local initiatives should be recognized
       both as independent systems as well as examples of
       successful donor projects.

o      All new initiatives should take in a sub-regional
       perspective.

o      New initiatives should be made with a view to providing a
       transitional path between existing levels of service such
       as dial-up store and forward systems to full IP
       connectivity.
