About the project
Three expert organizations are working together to close the digital divide in Nigeria. Hello World is partnering with The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) and the Centre for Information, Technology and Development (CITAD) to deliver effective and replicable connectivity solutions that reach disconnected communities in Nigeria. Hello World is scaling their Hello Hub model to Nigeria. In January 2024, Hello World will travel to Abuja, Nigeria to train CITAD and members from 7 Community Network micro-organizations, in the Hello World model. This training will include hands-on engineering skills in how to construct a Hello Hub, in-depth inclusive community management skills and collaborative sessions on how to adapt the model to suit the Nigerian context.
