What is Cloud Computing ?
A paradigm for enabling network
access to a scalable and elastic pool of
shareable physical or virtual resources
with self-service provisioning and
administration on-demand.

internet users are from the
developing world, in developing
countries, the number of internet
users will have doubled in 5 years,

The majority of datacenter, if not the totality, are
located outside the African countries and it's not
easy to trust in new technologies when your data is
stored somewhere, out of your legislation.

Countries
fortunately have young population who
need to be tainted to acquirer experience.
This population represents these countries
future.
The

Projects
E-government
In Ethiopia: The goverment has adopted cloud computing strategy with plan and it is
working with Korean republic to upgrade datacenter using technology supplied by
Korean company and 16.000 Km of fiber has extended broadband access to about 40%
of the population.
In Nigeria : The public sector has adopted cloud computing architecture to deliver
public services. With World Bank support, the Nigerian government moved the public
sector payroll systems to the cloud through a SaaS arrangement. The federal
government of Nigeria claims to have saved NGN 14 billion (USD70million) through
this initiative (Odufuwa, 2013).
25
Projects
E- health
University of Pretoria, South Africa uses the cloud for the next -generation
medical research. Students in the university use the cloud in the development of
drugs, which are expected to cure Africa - specific serious illnesses.
Innovative e-Health Solutions in Africa Award initiative of “African Development
Bank Group”

Projects
E-education
The Higher Education Alliance for Leadership Through Health Alliance, a
consortium of 7 universities from Kenya, Ethiopia, Congo, Tanzania and
Uganda, is working with industry experts to extend education through
virtual computing labs that students access remotely.

Recommandations
28
Recommandations
Developing infrastructure, particularly through partnerships
Introducing cloud computing into university courses
Awareness on the benefits of Cloud Computing by organizing
workshop as those organized by the ITU or IEEE
Collaboration and work together to create a secure et good
environment for the development of cloud computing
Encourage the participation of African countries on international
work and studies on cloud computing like the
ITU-T SG13 RG-AFR.
