Some would look at the statistics in the GITR reports and think that Ethiopia’s prospects for complying with the Millennium Development Goals are bleak [7]. I tend to look at the glass as half full. As mentioned earlier, there are already NGOs working in their own countries as well as in Ethiopia, like SchoolNet Africa and Camera, to affect a change. Progress is slow, but momentum is building.

This website describes some of Ethiopia’s major hurdles in meeting Millennium Development Goal number two. Ethiopia will find it very difficult, if not impossible, to accomplish this task without putting computers in every classroom. The website describes ways in which it can be done more effectively and efficiently than it is now. This site also describes some of the infrastructure and societal reforms that will need to be in place for the computers to be effective tools in the schools so as to help Ethiopia leapfrog the digital divide it now faces.
