Nepads e-Schools programme is aimed at equipping all African schools with ICT tools to ensure that African youth graduate with the skills necessary to fully participate in the information society and knowledge economy.
 
The AMD-led consortium is responsible for three of more than 100 secondary schools playing host to Nepads e-Schools Demonstration Project an initial step in the continental implementation of the Nepad e-Schools Initiative.

A fundamental goal of AMDs 50x15 Initiative is to ensure that technology in the classroom becomes as pervasive and ordinary as pencil and paper for students in Uganda and around the world, says Gustavo Arenas, corporate vice-president, high-growth markets, AMD. With less than one percent of Ugandas population connected to the Internet, this is a positive step toward empowering Ugandans with the benefits available from access to the digital world.
