The purpose of the meeting was to exchange information about the activities on the ground in Kenya, starting with the [[School Connectivity]] activities in the country. GIGAconnect has connected 100 schools, while AHERI & BasicInternet connected 45 school, being a good basis for exchange of lessons learned. Furthermore, ITU having the direct entry to the governments and AHERI and Basic Internet focussing on the community approach to drive the demand, we have a perfect match to boost digital inclusion.
