First months: planning for connectivity and ICT adoption

By Alejandra Schmalbach | Communications

For the past five months we have done great effort to comply with the first two components of our project: Access and connectivity and ICT adoption.

Our activities have been most of them related to the purchase of equipment, the adaptation of infrastructure in the territory and the management of alliances. We are planning to conclude the purchase and technological adaptation for the implementation of the designed network in the month of August of the current year and we expected to initially benefit seven connection points distributed in the rural area of the municipality.

Also we have been dedicated to the creation of contents for coffee growers and teachers training . Given the challenges of the project, there have been multiple visits to the municipality of Mesetas in order to generate a reliable and accurate diagnosis of coffee farmers to determine the most appropriate and relevant topics for the training cycles. To facilitate this visits, we have a new team member that is going to be in charge of supporting the development of the training and learning activities in the territory. This training sessions will start next week and will extend until beginning of December.

Thank you for your generous support and contributing to improve the livelihoods and living standards of coffee growers in remote rural areas in Colombia. Through the access to internet and the use of ICT tools, they are going to be able to strength their chain value and improve their education opportunities.
