Kigali, Rwanda August 2026 — The National Internet Data Center (NIDC) visited the Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) in Kigali as part of its efforts to strengthen regional digital connectivity and cooperation.

During the visit, NIDC held discussions with RURA on digital connectivity and the development of stronger and more reliable digital infrastructure across the region.

NIDC also presented its data centre capabilities in Tanzania and highlighted how its infrastructure can support the growing digital needs of Tanzania and the wider East African region.

The engagement with RURA provided an opportunity for both sides to exchange experiences, share ideas and identify areas where Tanzania and Rwanda can work together to strengthen the region’s digital infrastructure.

The discussions also highlighted the importance of regional collaboration in building resilient and interconnected digital infrastructure that can support businesses, government services and communities.

NIDC is an important part of Tanzania’s digital infrastructure. As a Tier 3 and neutral data centre, NIDC provides a secure and reliable environment for organisations to host their critical IT systems, applications and digital services.

Its neutral position allows different network operators, Internet service providers, technology companies and other digital infrastructure partners to connect and operate within the same facility. This supports greater choice, collaboration and connectivity within Tanzania’s digital ecosystem.

NIDC’s infrastructure also provides an opportunity to support regional connectivity by enabling networks and digital service providers to establish their presence in Tanzania and connect with other networks and services.
