ITU: Giga Reaches Milestone

A $5 Billion USD Bond Will Help Kick-Start Connectivity in Schools in the Global South

A $5 Billion Bond proposed by UNICEF and ITU will kick-start the mixed finance layers necessary for delivering connectivity to schools in the Global South. Giga has already reached a milestone mapping-out schools on Project Connect. 

One million schools have been identified as potential partners of Giga in the last couple of weeks.

Do you know how many people are still outside the digital economy around the world?

3.7 billion people lack access to the Internet.

Nearly 370 million are under 25 years of age. 

Let that sink in.
