Internet connectivity has brought a new challenge to Africa. There is a growing concern whether use of new information technologies can help African countries to realise development potential or whether that simply speeds up marginalisation. Africa will remain the least connected region for the next few years, due to complex socioeconomic, political and infrastructural difficulties. Local strategic information development and content generation using world Wide Web tools can speed up connectivity and economic development. Strategic vision and adequate knowledge of basic tools and understanding of the steps involved are necessary to develop the African information content that makes communities, institutions and countries competitive. This paper presents an overview of strategies and steps involved in using Internet tools that improve information content in Africa.
