Mission statement: A Wireless Africa built on sustainable Community Networks for Rural Development

Basic access to communication and information services remains an obstacle in the economic development of rural (low-density) communities. The aim is to apply the lessons learnt from First Mile First Inch and research different business models and technologies that will overcome obstacles to achieving economic sustainability. This aligns well with the aims of the IDRC, and specifically it’s “Acacia” and “Connectivity Africa” programmes.
