"The digital divide remains a significant challenge in many parts of Asia, particularly in rural and marginalized communities. Community-centered connectivity initiatives (CCCIs) have emerged as a promising solution to bridge this gap, but sustainability remains a key concern. This learning session will present evolving and innovative models that link CCCIs with social enterprises and local economic development initiatives, potentially offering a pathway to sustainable digital inclusion."
