We connect villages and institutions in Ethiopia to the internet to allow the
local population to participate and educate themselves.

Connected Villages

The pre-requisite for development is the access to information on the Internet. We have developed an infrastructure for free access to information, and have deployed village information spots in Germany, Norway, Tanzania and Ethiopia.[/nectar_highlighted_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding="padding-7-percent" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" background_image="2983" enable_bg_scale="true" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/3" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_row_inner column_margin="default" top_padding="30%" bottom_padding="5%" text_align="left"][vc_column_inner column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="top-bottom" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" column_link_target="_self" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][nectar_highlighted_text style="full_text"]

Educational Projects

In connecting schools with free access to information, we build information spots inside the schools. Our vision is that every school provides free access to Digital Public Goods as educational packages.[/nectar_highlighted_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][vc_column column_padding="padding-7-percent" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" background_image="2983" enable_bg_scale="true" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/3" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_row_inner column_margin="default" text_align="left"][vc_column_inner column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" column_link_target="_self" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][nectar_highlighted_text style="full_text"]

Women Entrepreneurship

We envision a world where every women has free access to information for running her business in the digital world. Though women are often drivers for the income of their families, they are double punished by the digital divide. First, “boys with toys” own a smartphone. And, even in some areas where there is 3G, about 30% of male have a mobile broadband subscription, but only 2% of women.
Thus, we need a new regulatory framework with free access to entrepreneurial information tailored towards women.[/nectar_highlighted_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column column_padding="no-extra-padding" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/1" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="in_container" full_screen_row_position="middle" bg_color="#dfe3e2" scene_position="center" text_color="dark" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none" shape_type=""][vc_column column_padding="padding-2-percent" column_padding_position="all" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/2" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][nectar_highlighted_text style="full_text"]

DigI Villages

We would like to thank our collaboration partners in Tanzania. Through the combined effort of the government (Ministry of Health, Universal Communication Service Access Funds (UCSAF), National Institute for Medical Research), Academia (Sokoine University of Agriculture, Muhumbili University), Mobile Operators (especially Tigo and Vodacom), and the communities we achieved our goals of bringing “free access to information for everyone”.[/nectar_highlighted_text][nectar_btn size="medium" open_new_tab="true" button_style="regular" button_color_2="Accent-Color" icon_family="none" text="Visit Our Wiki Page for More Information" url="https://its-wiki.no/wiki/DigI:Villages"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type="full_width_background" full_screen_row_position="middle" bg_color="#345f99" scene_position="center" text_color="light" text_align="left" overlay_strength="0.3" shape_divider_position="bottom" bg_image_animation="none" shape_type=""][vc_column column_padding="padding-3-percent" column_padding_position="top-bottom" background_color_opacity="1" background_hover_color_opacity="1" column_link_target="_self" column_shadow="none" column_border_radius="none" width="1/2" tablet_width_inherit="default" tablet_text_alignment="default" phone_text_alignment="default" column_border_width="none" column_border_style="solid" bg_image_animation="none"][vc_column_text]
