The African Water Page
Len Abrams · Water International · 1999
This paper describes the development of the African Web Page (AWP), a website devoted to water resources issues affecting Africa. The goals, missions, and content of the website are discussed, as well as the challenged that Internet use poses for the African continent where poverty mitigates against these technologies. Relatively few Africans currently access the site. The author concludes with several lessons learned from the AWP experience, and outlines the potential future of this information effort.
