| Zusammenfassung: | This Webinar explores the lessons learned from an initiative to bring Internet services to the Zambian village of Macha. Connecting rural communities in Africa is a challenge: communication and energy infrastructures are lacking while connectivity through satellite links is extremely expensive. In this webinar Gertjan van Stam of Macha Works discusses how internet access was engineered in Macha, and the obstacles encountered (logistics, finance, durability of equipment in harsh conditions, regulation issues etc.).Internet access has proved to be a significant tool to empower the local community to guide their own progress. Macha itself has evolved into a center of expertise with training, talent development, innovation and experimentation in the fields of engineering, agriculture, alternative energy, appropriate types of entrepreneurship, and novel approaches in ICT fitting the African context. Overall the approach appears successful and is now being scaled up to more villages in Zambia. |
