I’ve been pondering how global institutions like the World Bank and UN influence tech access in developing regions. Does anyone have insights on their strategies or effectiveness?

Great question! From what I know, the World Bank has several initiatives focused on improving digital infrastructure. But I wonder how these efforts align with local needs. Anyone has data on that?

I read an article suggesting these institutions often prioritize large-scale projects that may not address grassroots issues. Have communities been able to influence these projects?

From my work in Africa, I’ve noticed local feedback sometimes gets lost in bureaucracy. There’s a push for more local engagement now, but it’s a slow process.

Some reports highlight that infrastructure projects have increased internet penetration by over 15% in Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet, digital literacy and affordability remain challenges.

I think it’s a balancing act. Global institutions aim for broad impact, but often miss micro-level nuances. Collaborations with local governments might bridge this gap?
