The core objective of the RCIP project is to the reduce cost for international capacity (connectivity) by extending the geographic reach of Rwanda’s broadband networks. The goal of RCIP is to give Rwanda capacity and access to broadband connectivity by:

• Providing connectivity to all government institutions and all Rwandans:
• Establishing a central broadband international gateway facility (virtual landing point) in Rwanda that facilitates international connectivity;
• Purchasing and/or leasing broadband capacity to connect Rwanda to undersea fiber-optic cables; and
• Building competent technical capacity to manage and operate the acquisition, distribution and management of international broadband connectivity.
