Highlights on CN

  Supporting new and existing CNs In 2021, we will support a total of 10 new and existing CNs. For new ones, we will identify communities ready for network build-out and help them with deployment. For existing ones, we will help communities grow their coverage and technical capacity. Scaling our work though new partnerships We can achieve more by working together with our partners. That’s why we will collaborate with five new partners who can help amplify our efforts in deploying and promoting CNs, expanding our advocacy efforts, and building a stronger baseline of supporters. Building a global network of Community Networks champions We will train 300 individuals on essential skills and knowledge in technical, community-building, and policy topics directly related to CNs through our online moderated and self-paced courses and regional capacity building activities

. In addition, we will deliver more advanced training to 15 motivated Community Network Leaders who have had hands-on experience building CNs in their own community or region.
