Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become a necessary and indispensable tool for higher education institutions all over the world. They aid all the operations of an academic institution including management and administration, teaching and learning and research, and provide a fundamental set of tools for building the knowledge economy.
SADC universities are actively integrating ICTs in all their operations. All the universities have some access to the internet, have developed campus networks, have provided a relatively decent level of computer access to teaching, research and administrative research, have deployed management information systems and have started e-learning initiatives. Despite these best efforts, they are
7 CONCLUSION
constrained in many ways and gaps in infrastructure, systems and capacities exist.
These gaps and constraints are not insurmountable and SARUA has an important role to play in addressing them. The strategy that SARUA should adopt must be one that seeks to strengthen its members existing and on-going efforts and not to duplicate or compete with them. Most importantly, as the ICT landscape is one that evolves and changes rapidly, SARUA must keep in regular contact with its members in order to better understand their needs and demands and appreciate their efforts. Therefore, any strategy or activities that SARUA undertakes must be flexible and continually evaluated to determine that they fit with its members needs.
