Why develop ICT Plans? The need to develop ICT policies stems from the challengesthat many African countries are facing because of globalization and liberalization. Globalization has removedtime differences and geographical boundaries betweencountries. Many African governments are now aware of theimportant role of ICTs in transforming economies in anincreasingly knowledge-based global village.

ICTs can address the creation of wealth, management of theHIV /AIDs epidemic, and others. Consequently, several

African countries, like Egypt, Mauritius, Rwanda, and SouthAfrica have developed comprehensive national policies andstrategies to transform their nations into information/knowledge societies. The expansion of human capacity,especially in and through ICT, is critical in thesenational policies and strategies because of theinformation oriented societies that are emerging

globally.

enhance value and create opportunities through new technologies. Human capital must be
