Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is revolutionizing our society. One cannot think of life without computers, the Internet, satellites and mobile phones. They are turning our world into a global village. One continent is in danger of being left out of this digital revolution: Africa, a continent were peace, security and poverty reduction are amongst the complex issues governments are struggling with.
