Abstract
The Acacia initiative is an international effort to empower sub-Saharan African communities with the ability to apply information and communication technologies (ICTs) to their own social and economic development. This project will establish a Secretariat in the Office of the Vice Rector to support the Mozambique Acacia Advisory Committee (MAAC) and facilitate the implementation of the Acacia National Strategy in the country. The Secretariat will have three broad areas of responsibility: stimulating public awareness of ICTs and development issues; assisting in the identification of research and project development needs; and informing and servicing the MAAC. The Secretariat will be staffed by one technical/scientific officer and one administrative officer. Its activities will be evaluated as a modality for delivering Acacia in countries where there is no IDRC presence.
