CHAPTER -1
Background

• Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam, the former President of India during his
inaugural address to the African Parliament in Johannesburg on
16th Sep. 2004, proposed to connect all 53 AU member countries
with Indian institutions with a satellite and fiber-optic network to
share India’s expertise in the fields of Education and Health care for
accelerated socio-economic development of Africa
• AU accepted the Indian proposal and signed an umbrella MOU with
Govt. of India (through Ministry of External Affairs – Nodal
Ministry)
• Govt. of India appointed TCIL as the turnkey implementing Agency of
the project network
• The network primarily provides e-Services with priority on:
- Tele-education, Tele-medicine, and VVIP Connectivity
(video-conferencing and VoIP among the Heads of African States)

• Ethiopia Pilot Project taken up from November 2006 to June
2008 at a budgetary cost of 2 Million US Dollars to establish network
and delivering tele-education, tele-medicine and Continued Medical
Education (CME) connecting the following Centres:
India:
1. Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), New Delhi
2. CARE Hospital, Hyderabad
Ethiopia:
1. Addis Ababa University, Addis Ababa
2. Haramaya University (east of Addis Ababa)
3. Black Lion Hospital, Addis Ababa
4. Nekempte Hospital, Nekempte (west of Addis Ababa).
• IGNOU delivered Tele-education for MBA Program with 34
students.
• Care Hospital delivered 43 Nos. of Tele-Consultations and 27 CME
sessions
• Project was merged into main project for operations and maintenance
of Pilot Project services

Pan-African e-Network Project
- A practical example of South-South
Cooperation
•Initiative of Government of India in collaboration with
African Union
Non-commercial project, funded by the Govt. of India
at a budgetary cost of USD116 Mn

CHAPTER -2
Key Challenges Faced During
Implementation Of The Project

A. IMPLEMENTATION PHASE CHALLENGES
• The Implementation challenges included coordination
for appointment of country
coordinators, site coordinators, selection and
deployment of suitable manpower for
supervision and Implementation.
• Challenges in most of the project life cycle
activities were also faced such as during the
design of the network, logistics, delivery, setting
up of network, operations of network, delivery of
services etc.
• Experienced domain experts and project
managers were involved for meeting the
challenges and successful implementation of
the project.

B. DESIGN PHASE CHALLENGES
• Design stage challenges involved the selection of
right technologies for the following :
• infrastructure for communication
• Tele- education services from 5 Indian universities and
5 African regional universities located in different
parts of India and African continent
• Tele-medicine and Continued medical education
services from 12 Indian super specialty hospitals and
5 African regional super specialty hospitals located in
different parts of India and Africa
• Secured and non-intrusive VVIP communication
amongst the head of states of African countries.

C. LOGISTICS STAGE CHALLENGES
• Logistics stage challenges involved planning and
development of sub-projects and sub-components for
implementation of project which included :
• Communication network for connecting Indian
University Centers (UCs) and Super Specialty
Hospitals (SSHs) based on Multi Protocol layered
Switching (MPLS)
• Communication network for connecting Learning
centers (LCs), Patient End Hospitals (PEH)
• VVIP nodes in all African countries

LOGISTICS STAGE CHALLENGES
(conti..)
• African Regional Super Specialty Hospitals (RSSHs)
• African Regional University Centers (RUCs)
• Satellite Hub station at Senegal based on VSAT
• Network for connecting India with African continent
based on submarine optical fiber cable link of
International Private Leased Connection (IPLC), ICT
component of the project, Tele-education software,
Tele-medicine software, Medical equipments, Space
segment for VSAT network etc.

D. DELIVERY STAGE CHALLENGES
• Delivery stage challenges involved monitoring of the
deliveries of equipments from different vendors, coordination
in different countries and sites with country
coordinators and site coordinators for customs
clearance, taking over the deliveries and their safe
custody.
E. EQUIPMENT DEPLOYMENT CHALLENGES
• Equipment deployment challenges included follow up
with country coordinators for site allotment, site
preparation followed by surveys by TCIL to ensure
effective deployment of the infrastructure in the
countries.

• Operation of services on the pan African e-Network threw
challenges of defining timings for the delivery of Teleeducation
and Tele-medicine services considering
different time zones of India and east African countries
and West African countries.
• The time management for provision of services from the
Indian universities and super specialty hospitals and time
sharing of the common resources of the network was
defined for effective operations of the services.
