Twenty two years after the genocide, Rwanda wants to become Africa’s digital centre by investing heavily in ICT infrastructure.
It has financed $100 million Tech Innovation Fund, deployed high-speed fibre-optic in all 30 districts, provided Wi-Fi coverage to schools, public buildings, hotels, bus terminals and supermarkets in the capital Kigali.
