The main goal of the project is to provide UNAH with a modern ICT infrastructure to strengthen its research capacity and support UNAH important role for the whole country development. The project is divided in two parts:
a) UNAH ICT Policy and Master Plan
b) ICT implementation

The initial phase of the project is dedicated to formulate a general and complete design of all ICT services that UNAH requires and a proper strategy for their implementation and support. The result of this extensive process that involved all UNAH internal stakeholders and external partners is the ICT policy and Master plan documents. These documents shall drive the ICT development at the University. The main goal for the ICT implementation phase is defined by the ICT policy and Master Plan. Priority is given to the implementation of the main network infrastructure that shall support UNAH point of presence around Honduras. A set of critical ICT services including e-mail and web-portal have been included into the most urgent requirements. Capacity building is a necessary background for the success of the whole project and its future sustainability.

The main goal of the project is to provide UMSA with a modern ICT infrastructure to strengthen its research capacity and support UMSA´s important role for the whole country development.

There are 4 main activities 

1. Network Infrastructure. The aim is to build the large and complex network infrastructure UMSA requires.
2. Information Systems. The aim is to build the main information system UMSA organization requires. This includes web-portal, UMSA Academic Information System and UMSA financial Information System.

• To develop, pilot and roll out applications (supported by SMS and GPRS) that transder the concepts of ICT for Developmetn and ICT for Poverty Reduction to practical reality for the rural communities in Uganda and elsewhere.
• To develop the necessary back-end linkage (data sources, and servers and linking to the telecom networks) that will be the source of the data.
•  To address other development information dissemination needs within the Ugandan economy that can be best served using the cellular platform.
•  To build capacity of students in the development of applications for human development and/or commercial exploitation; and consequently support the growth of the software industry in Uganda.
• To lead to a greater under insight into the process of effective technology transfer, with specific focus on ICT for Development, in countries like Uganda.

- develop and implement an ICT environment making out the basic communication platform for the health workers,
- build capacity among healthcare workers, technicians and physicians to use and maintain the developed telemedicine systems,
- in-depth field testing to fine tune the telemedicine system to work in the particular local context.

The overall objective of the proposed project is to i) pilot the population register as the core of the e-government initiative including investigating and testing integrations and interoperability to the rest of the e-government, ii) to develop one national unique identification number and iii) to deploy a thousand identification cards as a proof-of-concept project.
