Overview
Mali has a national policy and strategic plan for ICT, administered through the Information and Communications Technology Agency (AGETIC). One of its missions is to set up an empowering environment for the promotion and use of ICT in education and capacitybuilding for the formal and non-formal sectors. Though certain challenges obstacles persist -- such as a very low level of development of the telephone networks and no direct access to an Internet backbone -- a number of actors, including the Ministry of Education, local and international public and private partnerships, and many others, remain committed to enhancing Mali’s education system. Notable Initiatives in the formal system include a university intranet, the Nepad e-Schools Demo project, Internet in schools, SchoolNet Mali and, in non formal education, the UNESCO Community Multimedia Centre Scale-Up Project which enables ICT access for villages.
