Russian developer of office software for document collaboration and communication MyOffice, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Government of the Republic of Guinea to supply 300,000 MyOffice educational licences for the needs of all schools in the country over 10 years. The supply agreement was signed in the capital of Guinea, Conakry, with the support of Djene Kaba Condé, First Lady of the Republic of Guinea, and her charitable foundation Prosmi.
“A few years ago, the Republic of Guinea embarked on the quest for the digitalisation of the country. New computers are gradually appearing in the country’s schools, and over the next decade, we will completely overhaul the equipment in schools. At the same time, we are updating the school curriculum, creating a single standard for all educational institutions in Guinea,” said Alpha Amadou Bano Barry, Minister of National Education and Literacy, Republic of Guinea.
“We have noted the high interest in MyOffice products in Africa. Governments in developing countries, including the Government of the Republic of Guinea, are seriously concerned about unauthorised access to user data that can occur when using public cloud services,” added Jafar Hilali, Founder and Managing Partner, Carousel Finance SA, a master distribution partner of MyOffice in Africa.
