Abstract
The article explores Africas initiative at building a regional plan for the formulation and development of a National Information and Communication Infrastructure NICIP in every African state. The paper also examines the challenges and opportunities confronting Africa in its bid to launch itself into the information age. The role of information, communication and knowledge in accelerating African socioeconomic development is emphasised. The paper makes a critical examination of the globalisation of economies and argues that globalisation appears to favour the rich and not so much the poor. It challenges the Organisation of African Unity OAU to provide funding for the project if it is to succeed. It eventually concludes by making the observation that Africas Information Society Initiative AISI should promote Africa.
