be running without issues on all school computers and mobile devices , which is why we do meticulous work to choose the right solutions . MyOffice software works on all platforms and fully meets these requirements . Switching to it will help us achieve our goals faster and begin the transition to secure Russian software this year ,” said Minister Barry .
“ We have noted the high interest in MyOffice products in Africa . Governments in developing countries , including the Government of the Republic of Guinea , are seriously concerned about unauthorised access to user data that can occur when using public cloud services . When choosing software products , our African partners set high requirements for information security , which Russian software fully meets . The MoU we signed will provide the younger generation with barrier-free access to modern technology and will have a major impact on the development of digital literacy skills ,” added Hilali .
“ Alpha Condé , President of Guinea , said five years ago at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum that Guinea was ready to become a gateway to West Africa for Russia . It is always pleasant when the actions suit the words , as we have seen with our own eyes here . Signing of the MoU can serve as confirmation of the fact that the country ’ s leadership is ready for the trade and economic cooperation with Russia . We hope that the provision of MyOffice Russian software products to schools will be the first step to a long , fruitful cooperation , will help the Government of the Republic of Guinea in implementing its national projects faster and contribute to the growth of computer literacy of the population ,” stated Gleb Cheglakov , Managing Partner , Carousel Finance SA .
“ Guinea is one of the few countries in Africa where , according to the World Bank , more than 91 % of children are enrolled in schools . At the same time , the country ’ s population keeps growing steadily , with over 13 million people living in the country today . The Government of Guinea is vitally interested in providing its citizens with quality education and makes great efforts to improve its accessibility and provide schools with modern technology . We are happy to participate in such a project and are ready to support the country ’ s educational initiatives and discuss options for expanding the Russian-Guinean cooperation ,” said Dmitry Komissarov , General Director , MyOffice . p
