In our eighth episode, we will travel to the African continent once again! In Nigeria, we will meet Harira Wakili and the Center for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) – a non-profit organisation promoting democracy and citizenship through information and communications technologies. We will learn more about their work on community networks and gender issues.

We will also hear from Josephine Miliza, who lives in Kenya. She is the current Africa Policy coordinator at the Local Networks initiative, which aims to contribute to an enabling ecosystem for the emergence and growth of community networks and other community-based connectivity initiatives.

“Routing for Communities” is a 12-episode podcast. Here you will listen to the life stories of people who have come up with alternatives to overcome the challenges of digital inclusion in remote, rural and urban areas across the globe.
