CHAPTER -1<br />
Background
• Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, the former President of India during his<br />
inaugural address to the <strong>Africa</strong>n Parliament in Johannesburg on<br />
16th Sep. 2004, proposed to connect all 53 AU member countries<br />
with Indian institutions with a satellite and fiber-optic network to<br />
share India’s expertise in the fields of Education and Health care for<br />
accelerated socio-economic development of <strong>Africa</strong><br />
• AU accepted the Indian proposal and signed an umbrella MOU with<br />
Govt. of India (through Ministry of External Affairs – Nodal<br />
Ministry)<br />
• Govt. of India appointed TCIL as the turnkey implementing Agency of<br />
the project network<br />
• The network primarily provides e-Services with priority on:<br />
- Tele-education, Tele-medicine, and VVIP Connectivity<br />
(video-conferencing and VoIP among the Heads of <strong>Africa</strong>n States)
• Ethiopia Pilot Project taken up from November 2006 to June<br />
2008 at a budgetary cost of 2 Million US Dollars to establish network<br />
and delivering tele-education, tele-medicine and Continued Medical<br />
Education (CME) connecting the following Centres:<br />
India:<br />
1. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi<br />
2. CARE Hospital, Hyderabad<br />
Ethiopia:<br />
1. Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa<br />
2. Haramaya University (east of Addis Ababa)<br />
3. Black Lion Hospital, Addis Ababa<br />
4. Nekempte Hospital, Nekempte (west of Addis Ababa).<br />
• IGNOU delivered Tele-education for MBA Program with 34<br />
students.<br />
• Care Hospital delivered 43 Nos. of Tele-Consultations and 27 CME<br />
sessions<br />
• Project was merged into main project for operations and maintenance<br />
of Pilot Project services
<strong>Pan</strong>-<strong>Africa</strong>n e-<strong>Network</strong> Project<br />
- A practical example of South-South<br />
Cooperation<br />
•Initiative of Government of India in collaboration with<br />
<strong>Africa</strong>n Union<br />
Non-commercial project, funded by the Govt. of India<br />
at a budgetary cost of USD116 Mn
CHAPTER -2<br />
Key Challenges Faced During<br />
Implementation Of The Project
A. IMPLEMENTATION PHASE CHALLENGES<br />
• The Implementation challenges included coordination<br />
for appointment of country<br />
coordinators, site coordinators, selection and<br />
deployment of suitable manpower for<br />
supervision and Implementation.<br />
• Challenges in most of the project life cycle<br />
activities were also faced such as during the<br />
design of the network, logistics, delivery, setting<br />
up of network, operations of network, delivery of<br />
services etc.<br />
• Experienced domain experts and project<br />
managers were involved for meeting the<br />
challenges and successful implementation of<br />
the project.
B. DESIGN PHASE CHALLENGES<br />
• Design stage challenges involved the selection of<br />
right technologies for the following :<br />
• infrastructure for communication<br />
• Tele- education services from 5 Indian universities and<br />
5 <strong>Africa</strong>n regional universities located in different<br />
parts of India and <strong>Africa</strong>n continent<br />
• Tele-medicine and Continued medical education<br />
services from 12 Indian super specialty hospitals and<br />
5 <strong>Africa</strong>n regional super specialty hospitals located in<br />
different parts of India and <strong>Africa</strong><br />
• Secured and non-intrusive VVIP communication<br />
amongst the head of states of <strong>Africa</strong>n countries.
C. LOGISTICS STAGE CHALLENGES<br />
• Logistics stage challenges involved planning and<br />
development of sub-projects and sub-components for<br />
implementation of project which included :<br />
• Communication network for connecting Indian<br />
University Centers (UCs) and Super Specialty<br />
Hospitals (SSHs) based on Multi Protocol layered<br />
Switching (MPLS)<br />
• Communication network for connecting Learning<br />
centers (LCs), Patient End Hospitals (PEH)<br />
• VVIP nodes in all <strong>Africa</strong>n countries
LOGISTICS STAGE CHALLENGES<br />
(conti..)<br />
• <strong>Africa</strong>n Regional Super Specialty Hospitals (RSSHs)<br />
• <strong>Africa</strong>n Regional University Centers (RUCs)<br />
• Satellite Hub station at Senegal based on VSAT<br />
• <strong>Network</strong> for connecting India with <strong>Africa</strong>n continent<br />
based on submarine optical fiber cable link of<br />
International Private Leased Connection (IPLC), ICT<br />
component of the project, Tele-education software,<br />
Tele-medicine software, Medical equipments, Space<br />
segment for VSAT network etc.
D. DELIVERY STAGE CHALLENGES<br />
• Delivery stage challenges involved monitoring of the<br />
deliveries of equipments from different vendors, coordination<br />
in different countries and sites with country<br />
coordinators and site coordinators for customs<br />
clearance, taking over the deliveries and their safe<br />
custody.<br />
E. EQUIPMENT DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGES<br />
• Equipment deployment challenges included follow up<br />
with country coordinators for site allotment, site<br />
preparation followed by surveys by TCIL to ensure<br />
effective deployment of the infrastructure in the<br />
countries.
• Operation of services on the pan <strong>Africa</strong>n e-<strong>Network</strong> threw<br />
challenges of defining timings for the delivery of Teleeducation<br />
and Tele-medicine services considering<br />
different time zones of India and east <strong>Africa</strong>n countries<br />
and West <strong>Africa</strong>n countries.<br />
• The time management for provision of services from the<br />
Indian universities and super specialty hospitals and time<br />
sharing of the common resources of the network was<br />
defined for effective operations of the services.
