MAPUTO, Sept. 3 (Xinhua) -- A total of 27 rural districts of Mozambique are expected to benefit from a Rural Connectivity Project launched by the government on Thursday, providing free Internet access to communities in the coming days.
The project, to be implemented through the creation of "digital squares", is funded by the Universal Access Service Fund (FSAU), affiliated to the Mozambican's National Institute of Communications (INCM).
"We are working to guarantee that every municipality of Mozambique will have at least one digital square until the end of this five-year period," said Minister of Transport and Communications Janfar Abdulai during the launch of the project in the district of Namacurra, Zambezia province.
The initiative is expected to provide broadband Internet to local communities in the southern provinces of Maputo, Gaza and Inhambane, the central provinces of Sofala and Zambezia and the northern provinces of Nampula and Niassa.
The country so far has 73 digital squares funded by FSAU. Enditem
