The Government of Liberia"’s development goals for ICT and Telecommunications are to modernize networks and create added value through the effective utilization of ICTs that make use of different technology solutions. Through this policy agenda and recognizing the essential social and economic potentials of broadband connectivity, the Government of Liberia including its development partners and local industry players facilitated Liberia"’s connection to the global community through the ACE Communication Network.   Liberia has since 2013 had access to broadband interconnection to the rest of the world via ACE. However, this connectivity does not extend outside the capital, Monrovia, since service providers transmission links does not have the necessary capacity required for broadband services. The proposed development of a National ICT Backbone is a key initiative expected to provide the necessary connectivity infrastructure which will carry the volume of data traffic that is projected in the coming years and increase the diffusion of broadband access in order to reap the development benefits.
