About
Ungana-Afrika
A
‘capacity crisis’ is a mild expression to describe
the skill levels and understanding of information and communications
technologies (ICTs) within non-profits and small-to-medium enterprises
in Africa. It will take a decade before the young, technologically
literate generation can address these challenges.
Ungana-Afrika is addressing this reality today by building innovative
ICT programs and tools for the development community, and its service
providers. Our mission is to empower development oganisations to better
integrate ICTs as a strategic, mission focused, tool.
