Abstract
This report details the findings of an applied project to design and
implement a sustainable Information and Communications Technology
center in the rural community of Berekuso. The project was intended to
address the challenges of providing the community with access to quality
education.
The project design was divided into three key areas which include
the establishment of the physical hardware infrastructure, the hosting of a
digital library equipped with relevant educational content, and ICT literacy
and training services.
The implementation of the project consisted of two phases, the first
of which is the initial setup phase and has been fully implemented. The
second phase involves long-term support and is yet to be implemented.
This report is concerned primarily with the first phase, although some
recommendations have been made concerning the implementation of the
second phase and beyond.
