Supporting National SchoolNets
SchoolNet Africa's mission is to support national SchoolNets in leveraging and mobilizing resources. At the same time, national SchoolNets are also supporting SchoolNet Africa by enrolling as members of SNA and by informing SNA of their experiences and how they can work with and support other SchoolNets in Africa.
