ICT remains largely undeveloped in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). This is largely because the country is still unlinked to the SAT3 underwater optical fiber cable and is thus forced to rely entirely on expensive and unstable satellite connectivity. The lack of a national policy for ICT development, and the apparent lack of concern for the subject among government officials, is not helpful. However, largely through the work of non-governmental actors, and Law 012/2002, ICT applications are slowly emerging. Greater support from government is needed to ensure that these initiatives are expanded to improve the country's currently low levels of school participation and to reduce the major digital gaps which currently separate the north and south, urban and rural areas, and male and female populations in the DRC. 2012-08-13T12:41:05Z 2012-08-13T12:41:05Z 2007-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/06/10018922/survey-ict-education-africa-democratic-republic-congo-country-report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10677 English InfoDev ICT and Education Series CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research Africa Congo, Democratic Republic of
