Brazzaville's Tier III national data centre — Central Africa's first — is being built by China's Sumec with EUR66.55m in financing (EUR52.47m from the African Development Bank, EUR14.50m from the Congolese state). It will host sovereign state data and anchor a national cloud, alongside 600km of new fibre linking Cameroon and the Central African Republic.
