Purpose and status
Provide the status for the School Connectivity project in Tanzania and discuss follow-up.
- 10 schools in 10 areas connected
- Excellent cooperation with local governments, resulting in local involvement
- Good synergy between actors, including Vodacom, TTCL, Shuledirect, Tamisemi, African Child, BasicInternet
Lessons learned
- How can we "top-up" when more than 10 GB is needed?
A: Vodacom will open for a B2B contract, needs further discussion - educational funds assigned to every school, supporting the installation
- Students will learn something valuable
Best praxis
- digital friends, local NGOs assist
- learning content, made available offline
- restricting sites that can be visited by the students and teachers
- diret involement of local government through TAMISEMI
Challenges
- network fluctuation in completely isolated areas - example: Simanjiro (Emboreet secondary school)
A: The 3G network is - lack of digital skills to non-IT teachers
Wishes from the schools and follow up:
- learning platform with teach involvement: teachers can download and make available for all children
- voucher for e.g. 1h, 4h, 24h access of teachers to the Internet (see BasicInternet:Voucher_Platform)
- top-up for schools
- business model for "wholesale", e.g. 10 SIM cards and 100 GB
- Reporting back from operators on usage in schools
- Applicability for Affordable Access in institutions such as schools, hospitals and communities
- Measuring the usage in the apps (Shuledirect, Vodacom Portal, Internet Lite)
- Scalability to 1000 and 5000 schools
Way ahead and next steps
- Implement the Vodacom portal and ask the schools feedback: https://e-fahamu.vodacom.co.tz (implemented)
- follow-up B2B wholesale (feedback on our models)
- Tanzania MCIT strategy
- Health platform/portal
- UCSAF: scale up - sustainable business model: Document describing options for a sustainable business model
Way ahead
- Follow-up meeting on 29Apr2021, 1400-1500h CEST (1500-1600h TZ time)
- Inputs for Vodacom strategy
