Within and among countries, inequities in access to information and communication technologies (ICTs) represent a growing crisis. Among experts on technological implementation, discrepancies in access to technologies like the Internet are commonly referred to as the digital divide. Nowhere is the division between the technological have and have-nots more pronounced than between the developed countries of the West and the developing nations of Africa, where ICT access rates are the lowest in the world. In recent years, governments, corporations, and Non-government organizations (NGOs) have been seeking to narrow the digital divide by establishing ICT training sites in African countries. The goal of the study was to evaluate the computer access, computer skills, usage, and Internet skills of the marginalized citizens who received free Information Technology training in an NGO's IT training center. This study entails the evaluation of the training program at one such site: Microsoft Corporation and Lagos State Government sponsored Lagos Digital Village (LDV) in Lagos, Nigeria.
