The Rwandan government has allocated 560bn Rwandan francs (about $1bn) to develop telecentres because telecentres would enable people in rural areas to access vital information from the rest of the world for their development.

The centres would promote democracy and development by connecting rural citizens to government and the economy. Telecentres would provide multi-purpose services through information, skills and consultancy, and business support by reducing the cost of business transactions between companies. It is expected that the project will increase ICT literacy in the country, which will enable job creation and sustainable growth.
