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.
