  abstract = {{A}frica's problems are broad and diverse. {T}hey range from illiteracy to malnutrition, from poverty to malnourishment. {T}o many, disease and underdevelopment are synonymous to {A}frica. {Y}et {A}frica has got some of the world's richest resources - natural or otherwise. {T}oday perhaps information is the most vital of them all. {I}n this paper, we contend that electronic information networks can save the continent from this state of misery. {E}lectronic communication as a vehicle for sustainable regional development holds unfolding opportunities for all key areas of an economy - from agriculture to mining, from health to education, from transport to regional cooperation. {E}xperiences from the {E}astern {A}frican region are presented.
