The African Virtual University (AVU) has
helped reduce the digital divide in Africa and proven that
modern communications technology can succeed in Africa. It
has raised the profile of the continent positively and
helped establish Africa as a business address. Today, a
number of Internet and satellite companies are eager to set
up businesses in Africa. Regions such as the Middle East and
Central Asia have also begun to think along the lines of the
AVU. AVU training courses are helping shape tomorrow's
business managers, women entrepreneurs, scientists and other
professionals who will make effective use of the knowledge
economy, to stimulate growth and development in Africa. |
