How does a modest cyber café become an Internet powerhouse?
For the Centre’s 2022 Report on ‘Civil Society Innovation and Digital Power Shift’, we’re speaking with inspirational innovators from civil society organisations around the world to hear the stories of their inclusive innovation approaches to advance people-centred digitalisation, to either address system power imbalances or capitalise on emerging people power and technological capabilities.
In this episode, Michuki Mwangi, Verengai Mabika, and Joseph Bishi, talk about how a community network in Zimbabwe grows from a cyber café to a local hub of knowledge, healthcare, and development, realising the Internet as a place of possibility.
