An Information and Communication Technology (ICT) needs assessment project will get underway in hinterland and rural communities in Guyana soon, GINA said yesterday.
This follows a US$524,00o contract which was signed among the Government of Guyana, Germany-based Detecon Consultancy and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
Present at the signing yesterday were Resident UNDP Coordinator, Khadija Musa who co-signed the agreement alongside Minister of Public Telecommunications, Catherine Hughes and Stephan Dieter, Detecon International representative.
Under the rubric “ICT Access and e-Services for Hinterland, Poor and Remote Communities”, the project is a launching pad to find out among other things, what infrastructure, technical capacity, and legal framework exist in poor, remote and un-served areas in Guyana.
