Equitable Access

Rio de Janeiro -- APC hosts a one day event on equitable access to ICT infrastructure in Rio de Janeiro. Universal access, freedom of expression and invoking the accountability of states are not possible without affordable, equitable access to communications infrastructure.

The Association for Progressive Communications (APC) is organising a one-day event called EQUITABLE ACCESS to start a process of consolidating emerging lessons and knowledge on innovative access solutions. This will inform learning, research, policy interventions and access strategies.
