(Ecofin Agency) - Mahamat Allahou Taher (picture), Chad’s minister of posts and new information technologies has released some information about the African Centre for Information and Communication Technologies (CATI) promised since 2014 by the President, Idriss Deby, at the first edition of the international ICT trade fair (SITIC).

The head of the telecom sector declared that the project is currently in the hands of the African Union Commission and Chad’s experts. He has moreover indicated that other countries’ contributions for its concretization were most welcomed.

Mahamat Allahou Taher was expressing himself on October 9, 2017, during the world conference on telecoms’ development (CMDT-17) held in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The conference will end next October 20.

In 2014, President Deby had presented the CATI as a major project “dedicated to Africans, aiming to promote inventiveness, innovativeness and productiveness in the sectors of ICT and broadcasting”.

It supposedly comprises a “mega pan-african radio and terrestrial digital television project developed by and for Africans”, and which will represent “Chad’s main contribution to one of the NEPAD’s programmes prioritizing news production from credible, verified and verifiable sources and showing real and positive images of a moving and growing Africa”.
