The LINK Centre is the leading research and training body in the field of information and communications technology (ICT) policy, regulation and management in Southern Africa.
LINK focuses on capacity building in the public sector and development arenas through quality training, applied research and consultancy services necessary to maximise the benefits of the Information Society and the Knowledge Economy.
The LINK Centre is a response to the growing demand for training and research in the information and communication sectors as South Africa and other African countries attempt to position themselves effectively in the global economy while addressing the challenges of social and economic underdevelopment. The information revolution offers opportunities for the developing world to leapfrog stages of development and to embark on new directions towards meeting social needs and enhancing country competitiveness.
