Abstract :
ICTS and the socio-economic development of
the North West Region of Cameroon evaluate the
contributions of ICTS to the socio-economic
development of regions. Qualitative research designs
with the use of semi-structured interviews, and
observation were used as a means of data collection. A
lot of information also came from secondary sources.
The data was analyzed to come out with the following
findings. ICTs have contributed to the promotion of
socio-economic activities including agricultural
activities and employment within the region. ICTs
promote the culture of the people as well as the general
sensitization of the people. ICTs assist in tourism
promotion through entertainment, advertising and
security of goods and people. The educational sector of
the region, through training in the ICT domains and
scholarships offered by the ICT stakeholders such as
MTN and Orange is not left out. ICTs interactions
contribute in sensitizing the public on health issues
focusing on AIDS prevention, vaccination and family
planning, facilitating consultation, diagnosis and
treatment.
