About This Project
Summary
In Malawi, efforts are underway to ensure access to reliable, affordable internet and to train the workforce for a digital future.

Companies and regulators are searching for ways to overcome the high price of smartphones and expand internet access so that small businesses can benefit from the tech innovations emerging across Africa.
