The Local Networks (LocNet) initiative and two projects from its peers – Tosepan (Mexico) and IBEBrasil (Brazil) – are among the nominees for this year’s World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prizes, a contest developed to evaluate activities that leverage the power of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to advance sustainable development.
Led by APC in partnership with Rhizomatica, LocNet aims to directly support the work of community networks and contribute to an enabling ecosystem for the emergence and growth of community-based connectivity activities in developing countries. The nomination is a recognition of community networks as an important and viable alternative for promoting the rights to access and communications, and for supporting sustainable development.
