The recently-closed eRwanda Project (FY07-FY11) financed 18 telecenters for rural populations and equipped 12 district offices with computers and office software, allowing the local government offices to be connected to Kigali’s central govern-ment. The project also financed four ICT buses that have been roaming among Rwanda’s district offices, teaching youths, civil servants, farmers, politicians and private sector entrepreneurs on ICT skills. Throughout the project, 2,822 citizens were trained on ICT subjects, helping them gain skills that will serve them throughout their lifetimes as employees, entrepreneurs, and local leaders, including 760 dist-rict office staff. eRwanda also had a strong gender focus. Among the trainees were 685 council women in rural areas, who learned how to access infor-mation and run relevant applications for their farms or cooperatives.
