%X Africa's problems are broad and diverse. They range from illiteracy to malnutrition, from poverty to malnourishment. To many, disease and underdevelopment are synonymous to Africa. Yet Africa has got some of the world's richest resources - natural or otherwise. Today perhaps information is the most vital of them all. In this paper, we contend that electronic information networks can save the continent from this state of misery. Electronic 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. Experiences from the Eastern African region are presented. (Résumé d'auteur)
