N’ubwo ubushobozi n’ibikoresho byinshi biri hagati y’ibihugu bya Afurika ndetse no hagati y’ibihugu bya Afurika, rusange byemewe ni uko gushimangira ubushakashatsi no gutangaza ubushakashatsi ari byo by'ingenzi mu kuzamura amashuri makuru muri Afurika. Mugihe kimwe namakuru aturuka mubihugu byateye imbere ubu aboneka kubuntu muri Afrika kubuntu (nka HINARI, AGORA, OARE (Kwinjira kumurongo kubushakashatsi mubidukikije), JSTOR African Access Initiative, na Aluka), hagomba kubaho intego ijyanye no kuboneka kumurongo wa interineti ituruka muri Afrika niba kongera ubushobozi bwaho mubushakashatsi no gukwirakwiza bigomba kugerwaho. Kugira ngo ibyo bishoboke, mu buhanga buhanitse, amakuru ashonje kandi ku isi yihuta cyane, amashuri makuru muri Afurika akeneye ibikoresho by’ikoranabuhanga kugira ngo asangire kandi yubake ku musaruro w’ubushakashatsi w’ibihugu bituranye ndetse n’isi yose.

 Ubusumbane bwamakuru 
Mu bihugu 50 ku isi byashyizwe mu majwi n’ibihugu byateye imbere cyane (LDCs) n’umuryango w’abibumbye, 33 biri muri Afurika. Hariho abantu benshi bumva akamaro k'uburezi mugukemura ubukene mu gihe kirekire, ubusanzwe hibandwa ku mashuri abanza n'ayisumbuye. Harakenewe kandi kwibanda ku mashuri makuru yo ku mugabane wa Afurika kandi birakenewe kugira ngo ibihugu by'Afurika bitezimbere mu buryo burambye ubushobozi n’ubukungu ndetse no gukura akarere mu iterambere ridateye imbere.

Kugeza ubu, amakuru yingenzi yamakuru, ibinyamakuru byasohotse hamwe nibinyamakuru byaboneka kandi bikoreshwa nabashakashatsi, abanyamasomero nabanyeshuri muri Afrika ni kimwe nibikoreshwa muburayi na Amerika. Ni ukubera ko amakuru aturuka mu bihugu byateye imbere ubusanzwe aboneka byoroshye kuruta ay'ibihugu biri mu nzira y'amajyambere. Ariko, ntigaragaza bihagije umusaruro wubushakashatsi bwakozwe muri Afrika kandi ntabwo buri gihe ari ngombwa cyangwa bikwiriye amashuri makuru muri Afrika.
