Guinea has begun the implementation of ICT in the tertiary education sector in collaboration with donors.

Specifically, United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has assisted Guinea under the Global Learning and Observation to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) programme and launched other initiatives jointly with some state organizations. Poor electrification and telecommunication infrastructure, however, hinders the process. Connectivity is limited to certain urban areas and power supply is at best irregular even in the administrative region in the capital city, Conakry, where the ministries and principal organs of state are located. This phenomenon among others presents challenges to the deployment of ICTs across the country, particularly in the education sector. 2012-08-13T12:39:40Z 2012-08-13T12:39:40Z 2007-06 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/06/10014613/survey-ict-education-africa-guinea-country-report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/10669 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 Guinea
