Dr Odedra sites many infrastructural reasons for the lack of effective ICT, these are; a lack of reliable power supply to operate the computers, not very well-functioning telephone network to transmit data, no foreign currency to import the technology, and no computer-literate personnel to teach and successfully use the ICT.
Africa needs the use of ICT to assist in matters such as; banking, agriculture, mining, transportation, research, defence, medical services, accounting and communications. If a reliable source of ICT is introduced across the continent, I cannot see how this will not affect the continent in a positive way. Computer-aid projects have been reasonable successful so far. They have provided less economically developed countries with computers; these computers are quite old as the organisation cannot afford to give state of the art equipment. A downfall is that the natives do not know how to use a computer and there aren't many computer manuals in their languages.
