The current study has been undertaken at a time when attention world-wide is focused on the attainment of education and human capacity building objectives in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), most particularly to achieve Education for All (EFA) and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Additionally, it occurs at a time of a renewed emphasis on the role that distance education (DE) and ICTs can play in the attainment of these goals, in the light of the accumulated experience worldwide and in Africa, and the advent of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). In the specific context of Rwanda, the study takes place as the first real achievements of the vision to transform Rwanda’s economy into an ICT-driven, knowledge-based economy have begun appearing.
