Executive Summary
UCSAF and the Digital Inclusion (DigI) project discussed topics related to connectivity of rural areas and content provision, both from a national and an international perspective. The DigI project has connected about 10 villages/schools, focussing on how digital health information (in terms of videos and animations) increases the knowledge of the local society and contribute to digital inclusion.
Specific technical issues were discussed, including how the mobile network is used to bring Internet Information Spots into the villages. Examples were the 22 km distance to the Tigo mobile towers, when connecting to the market place of Selela, and the connectivity over the mountainous ridge when establishing a village information spot in Izazi.
This page summarises the topics to be discussed, and acts as a basis for a follow-up meeting between UCSAF and DigI team members.
