Much has been written and spoken about the problems facing Africa with respect to infrastructure development, Internet connectivity, competitiveness and globalization. Numerous statistics have been analysed and quoted highlighting the backlog and difficulties in many areas including the provision of essential services. This paper is not meant to regurgitate those observations, facts and figures. Instead it seeks to provide an understanding of some of the key issues facing the continent from a system-theoretic basis. This insight and understanding is then used to develop frameworks and processes that will inform action plans designed to contribute meaningfully to the development of African private sector information systems, networks and relationships with the public sector.
