Giga: Empowering communities in Asia and the Pacific through school connectivity
2021  New!  

This new report examines the feasibility of countries in the Asia Pacific region participating successfully in the Giga initiative and realizing their potential by exploring implementation through the four pillars of Giga (Map, Finance, Connect, and Empower).

The report also emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach for mapping school connectivity that engages a wide range of stakeholders and that encourages the leveraging of existing government policies to deliver greater connectivity, including effectively utilizing USOs and USFs to connect schools, and highlights the importance of digital skills and how the Ministries of Education might help generate improved conditions for long-term connectivity in disadvantaged communities and in rural and remote regions.
