About Giga Launched in as a joint initiative between UNICEF and ITU, Giga has set the ambitious goal to connect every school in the world to the internet.
Half of the world’s population has no regular access to the Internet.
Millions of children leave school without any digital skills, making it much more difficult for them to thrive and contribute to local and global economies.
This has created a digital divide between those who are connected and those who are not, a divide that has become even wider during the Covid-19 pandemic.
UNICEF and ITU have therefore joined forces to create Giga, an initiative to connect every school in the world to the Internet and address this new form of inequality.
Giga focuses on connecting schools so that children and young people have access to information, opportunity, and choice.
It also uses schools as anchor points for their surrounding communities.
if you connect the school, you can also connect local businesses and services.
This creates opportunities for service providers to generate revenue from paying users, making connectivity more sustainable.
A report by the Economist Intelligence Unit found that a 10% increase in school connectivity can increase effective years of schooling by 0.
% and increase GDP per capita by 1.
%.
