- It directly addresses SDG Target 9.C Significantly increase access to information and communications technology and strive to provide universal and affordable access to the Internet in least developed countries by 2020 by providing free access to information for all [1]
- It supports the UNOG work on a human rights in the digital world. As Kate Gilmore points out: "IT had the opportunity to dismantle the divide. IT has failed, the divide is bigger than ever".

Towards "Connect the Unconnected"
First results from the DigI project are foreseen for April 2018 and build the basis for discussions with international organisations and donors to "Connect the Unconnected". The goals are:
- combine efforts from a wide range of partners
- create the showcase for rural connectivity
- scale the DigI business model across the nation
- establish the blueprint for roll-out in other countries.
The suggestion is to establish a Trust Fund based on support for the Norwegian Government for this activity, and join forces with other donors.
