Kigali gets $24m boost for regional broadband networks

by David Kezio-Musoke of The Monitor

The World Bank has announced that it has approved $24 million for a program that will see Rwanda develop her national capacity to provide broadband connectivity.

The money that was cleared through an International Development Association (IDA) financing grant for the Regional Communication Infrastructure Program – Rwanda Project (RCIPRW), is supposed to increase the availability of broadband to more than 700 Rwandan institutions including schools, health centers and local government administrative centers. IDA is the concessional lending arm of the World Bank.
