A workshop for current and potential users of the Digital Doorway from government, NGOs and industry held by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) on 28 January 2009, has surfaced new and innovative ways to leverage and deploy this product.

Managed by the Meraka Institute of the CSIR with funding from DST, the Digital Doorway initiative has seen 200 systems installed in all nine South African provinces, and in Africa, primarily to promote computer and information literacy.
