About Us
The Western Cape Government eCentre is an initiative that makes information and communication technology (ICT) more accessible to communities throughout Western Cape.
These communities are often marginalised and economically excluded, due to their limited access to information sources and modes of communication. What’s more, the resources available to them are often out of date. The programme aims to create opportunities for social change and economic growth by making state-of-the-art ICT more widely available.
The WCG eCentre Programme has established eCentres across the Western Cape. Some of these eCentres are managed by e-community forums. The eCentres provide each local community with access to computers and the internet, which they can use for a wide variety of purposes. School projects, job applications, internet banking, SARS e-filing and CV creation are just a few examples.
As of October 2018 there are 70 eCentres in each municipality of the Western Cape which provides access to opportunities, skills and information. With over 1 000 students who’ve completed the accredited e-skills programmes.
Through improved ICT availability, the programme s is opening doors to better education, employment and business opportunities, fuelling socio-economic development in communities where it is most needed.
