Few African universities have internet access for all students, and where some provision is available, cost remains a key issue for the institutions. Many research institutions are not linked to their counterparts in other African countries or to others elsewhere in the world. To compensate this lack, numerous initiatives have risen, with the purpose to offer to the African students, more possibilities of knowledge and growth. Some of these are: [A21] • Acacia Initiative (www.idrc.ca/acacia): The Acacia initiative is an international program to empower Sub-Saharan communities with the ability to apply information and communication technologies (ICTs) to their own social and economic development. • African Information Society Initiative (AISI) (www.uneca.org/aisi): The African Information Society Initiative (AISI) is a mission statement for Africa's quest to bridge the digital divide between Africa and the rest of the world, and to speed the continent's entry into the information age. • SchoolNet Africa (www.schoolnetafrica.com): is an independent non-government organization which promotes education through the use for Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in African schools. It is the first African-based, African-led, Pan-African school networking institution. It works in partnership with national school-net organizations in up to 28 African countries. It stands for the right of every African child to have access to Information & Knowledge and to be a global citizen. • African Virtual University (www.avu.org): The African Virtual University (AVU) is a "university without walls" that uses modern information and communication technologies to give the countries of sub-Saharan Africa direct access to some of the highest quality learning resources throughout the world. AVU is bridging the digital divide by training world-class business managers, engineers, technicians, scientists and other professionals who will promote economic and social development and help propel Africa into the knowledge age. • The Information for Development Program (infoDev) (www.infodev.org): The infoDev began in September 1995 with the objective of addressing the obstacles facing
