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. 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 organisations to
better
integrate ICTs as a strategic, mission focused, tool.
Ungana-Afrika Services and Projects
Ungana-Afrika's three
service areas
provide a wide range of technology support, capacity-building

development community. Click on each service area for more information.
