published on

Michel Operto
I'm often amazed by the apparent lack of professionalism some people demonstrate in running calls, especially with sponsors, customers, prospects, senior management... I wonder if some of the basics we learned early in our careers have not been forgotten.

ICT is a critical part of infrastructure in Africa on a par with water and energy, and must be developed, said leaders from the region this month. They highlighted infrastructural issues as they unveiled an initiative to bolster infrastructure across the African continent. Leaders meeting in Kampala, Uganda called for more funding to help bolster ICT, water, energy, and transport. They launched the Programme for Infrastructure Development in Africa (PIDA), which is a project designed to develop master plans for infrastructural improvement at a continental level. The officials launching the project came from the African Development Bank, the African Union......
