Hi everyone- The Internet Society has just issued a press release
highlighting on a new agreement it signed with the West and Central African
Research and Education Network (WACREN), where it has announced its
contribution of USD 120,000 to support African Research and Education
Networks' (NREN) work in increasing their skills and improving their
Internet infrastructure. WACREN and the Internet Society will be working
with Ubuntunet and Arab States Research and Education Network (ASREN) to
implement this project. This is the largest contribution that the Internet
Society is making to African NRENs after its donation of networking
equipment worth more than 170,000 USD to WACREN and ASREN back in 2013.


Here’s a link to the press release for more information:
