The NEPAD e-Schools Initiative is a multi-country, multi-stakeholder, continental project to teach ICT skills to young Africans in primary and secondary schools and improve the provision of education in schools through the use of ICT applications and the Internet. The first phase of the Initiative is a "Demonstration Project" ("Demo") being implemented by NEPAD through the e-Africa Commission (eAC), in partnership with private sector organisations. Six schools in each of 16 countries were selected to participate. The Commonwealth of Learning, in partnership with infoDev, a multi-donor partnership housed at the World Bank, managed the monitoring and evaluation of the Demo project at the request of the eAC. This public report is a synthesis of the lessons learned from the Demo Project to date, based on a series of internal reports provided to the e-Africa Commission during the course of the monitoring and evaluation process. The report examines the achievement of the specific objectives that were set for the Demo, key assumptions that have impacted the implementation of the project, constraints and challenges faced during implementation, project impact on participating schools and project impact on ICT in education policy developments. This report contains: Project Background; Executive Summary; General Observations on the Implementation of the Demonstration Project; Summary Observations; Recommendations for the e-Africa Commission; and Concluding Remarks. Appended to this report are: (A) Assignment of Consortia to Countries and Schools; and (B) NEPAD e-Schools Outcomes and Impact Indicator. (Contains 1 table.)
