ImageAFRINIC’s training team was again front and center at the African Internet Summit’s workshop week, delivering a number of technical workshops, including on IPv6.

AFRINIC’s IPv6 Training courses are IPv6 Forum Certified (Gold) and aim to equip network engineers and operators with knowledge about IPv6 deployment and transition techniques including how to: conduct an IPv6 infrastructure audit, create an address plan, acquire IPv6 prefixes, configure routing, and choosing transition

To understand the motivation for attendees to participate in this workshop and where their organisations are at in terms deploying IPv6, we chatted with four attending engineers from host country Botswana as well Malawi, Uganda and Zimbabwe.

In 2013, the Shona E-Reader project, now known as MyNatiV, received a FIRE Africa Grant for its innovative text-to-Speech (TTS) E-learning application implemented on a low cost Android tablet to enable children in rural Zimbabwe to learn to read using their own languages. Since then, the project has gone from strength to strength and, in May 2016, the project was awarded a World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Champions Certificate for its efforts in advancing education in rural areas. Here, in part two of a three part series, project leader Ian Mutamiri writes about the issue of awareness.
