To investigate how IT linkages can be established within existing networks, potential networks, national networks and at a sub-regional, regional and international level.
-
To investigate how resources, both African and international, can be leveraged to support such efforts.
-

To facilitate contact between key stakeholders who are contributing to or who can contribute to such processes.
