Malawi: ICT - a necessity in rural areas?

In her opening address to this year’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) fair in Blantyre in February, Information and Tourism Minister Patricia Kaliati challenged companies involved in the ICT sector to take technology to people on the ground. "As government, we would like ICT products to be enjoyed by many. We would like to see people in Limbuli, Makanjira and Mkando having access to ICT products. We would like to see the local tomato grower in the village using the internet to access markets for his or her products,” said Kaliati.
