Rural Telecenters

 
Chinyunyu Rural Telecentre Project
 
Chinyunyu is a village some 50km east of Lusaka where communications have conventionally been poor and electric power is an issue. Using funding from UNIDO and elsewhere a community telecentre has been constructed, which also includes an agricultural storage facility. Power is provided via solar cells and villagers can also charge up their cellphones and other low-power devices.
