Although with the overwhelming impact of new technologies globally, numerous factors still
account for the setbacks in bridging the digital divide in developing nations. Cameroon has for
several years been trailing in the employment of Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) to facilitate learning and teaching in schools. Nevertheless, a number of ICT projects have
been implemented in secondary schools which have helped to reduce this digital gap amongst
students. We report on one of the pioneer projects, the Computer and Internet Access Centres
(CIAC) project, implemented by the Association for Development, Communication and
Environment (ADCOME), a non-governmental organisation with headquarters in the South West
Region of Cameroon. We begin by looking at its history, implementation, successes, challenges
and possible solutions.
