EAI AFRICOMM 2022 will be held as an on-site conference and if needed, Accepted Authors who are unable to attend the event in person will be given an option to present remotely.

SCOPE
Developing countries are embracing the use of ICT in order to improve performance of both the public and private sectors. A great challenges is, however, resource availability. Researchers and practitioners alike, from both the global north and south have developed interest on developing the means and ways of efficient diffusion of ICT in the resource constrained environment. AFRICOMM 2022 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in ICT to discuss issues and trends, recent research, innovation advances and on-the-field experiences related to e-Infrastructure and e-Services along with their associated policy and regulations with a deep focus on developing countries.
