The AngoNet project was initiated in Luanda in
1989, as a project facilitated by Development Workshop (DW) with
Canadian funding support.
For a number of years, AngoNet provided Angola’s only
public access to international electronic networks by e-mail through
non-profit APC servers in Europe and Southern Africa. With the
emergence of commercial Internet Service Providers (ISPs) in the late
1990’s in Angola, AngoNet dedicated itself to provide a non-profit
network service for organisations and individuals working in social and
economic development and humanitarian assistance programmes in Angola.
