Conference Details

The globalizing economy is powered by information communications technology (ICT), which encompasses communications devices or applications. Their use is becoming increasingly commonplace in Africa, which is waking up to the broadband race. Side-by-side with rocketing acquisition of ICT facilities, e-waste is being rapidly generated (sometimes by as much as 500%) beyond the capacity to manage it in an environmentally sustainable way in African countries. If treated and discarded improperly, e-wastes can become toxic, posing serious health and environmental danger. This is often the case in Africa which lacks waste management infrastructure.
