Community informatics (CI) involves providing information and communication technologies (ICTs) and tools to communities to help them achieve their local development goals. CI is bottom-up and community-driven, empowering communities to own and control ICTs. It focuses on the needs of communities and implements technologies accordingly. CI draws on multiple disciplines and links researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. Examples of CI include telecenters providing rural information services, a rural health center using teleconferencing, and a rural tourism program managed through a local ICT center.

Issues, challenges and opportunities presented by mobile
This document discusses closing the gender digital divide in mobile phone access and usage in Nigeria. It identifies some key issues including that only 52 million phones are in use in Nigeria, with women having much lower access due to factors like literacy levels, language barriers, culture, media literacy, and poverty. Challenges to closing the gap are outlined as poverty, culture, ownership barriers, low literacy, and lack of connectivity in rural areas. However, opportunities exist through text message help lines, SMS campaigns on issues like violence against women, mobile banking, and information services for farmers. The document proposes a national helpline for gender violence, mobile access training, and strategic projects to disseminate information to women via

What Is Community Radio
Community radio (CR) is characterized by ownership and control by a nonprofit organization whose structure provides for participation by local community members in management, operation, programming, and evaluation. CR programming is based on community access and participation and reflects the interests and needs of the listeners it serves. Benefits of CR include promoting democracy, social inclusion, local values and culture, and giving voice to marginalized groups. CR stations aim for social and financial sustainability through low-cost solutions and innovative programming. Indian policy guidelines require CR stations to serve a defined local community and include at least 50% community-generated content. The road ahead envisions over 4000 CR stations across India to create an inclusive information society.
An assessment of farmers
This document assesses farmers' use of new information and communication technologies (ICTs) as sources of agricultural information in Karaye Local Government Area, Kano State, Nigeria. A survey of 133 farmers found that few used video or mobile phones, while none used the internet. Chi-square analysis showed relationships between socioeconomic factors like sex, education, income, farm size, and ICT use. The study recommends mobilizing farmers' cooperatives to establish telecenters and train farmers in ICT applications to improve access to agricultural information. Overall access to and use of ICTs like the internet and mobile phones among farmers in the area remains low.

URMC Final Project
This document summarizes strategies for unlocking rural mobile coverage in South Africa. It outlines the challenges of low population density, difficult terrain, and lack of basic infrastructure in rural areas. Key policy enablers that can help expand coverage include allocating low-frequency spectrum, promoting infrastructure sharing between mobile operators, reducing sector-specific taxes, and having realistic competition policies. Government initiatives in South Africa like the Universal Service Fund and programs like ICT4RED and Ukufunda Virtual School aim to connect schools and provide tablets for education, but progress has been slow. Case studies of mobile operators like Vodacom expanding their 4G networks show potential solutions.
Increased Mobile Phone Use and Internet Access
Increased mobile phone and internet access in Botswana has positively impacted many citizens' lives but also presents challenges. Mobile internet now exceeds fixed access due to network limitations. Batswana use mobile internet for social networking, banking, education and more. However, privacy concerns exist due to security risks when personal data is online. Local IT providers can create new services and applications to capitalize on growing mobile internet usage, which benefits many sectors if affordability and coverage barriers are addressed.
Wam2
Women face a significant digital gender gap, being 10-26% less likely than men to own a mobile phone or use mobile internet. This amounts to 184 million fewer women owning mobile phones and over 1.2 billion women not using mobile internet in low and middle-income countries. Barriers preventing women from accessing mobile include cost, network issues, safety concerns, lack of trust in operators/agents, and lower digital literacy. Several international organizations are working to address this divide through initiatives focused on education, employment, safety regulations, and encouraging policies that promote inclusion.

ICT can empower poor and marginalized groups by improving access to education, markets, healthcare, and government services. It can help reduce poverty and increase security. However, a digital divide still exists between those who can access and use technology and those who cannot. ICT initiatives in India have aimed to empower women and rural communities through projects that provide access to computers, the internet, and information. Examples discussed include the e-Choupal kiosks managed by women's self-help groups, and the use of mobile phones and databases by organizations like SEWA. ICT is seen as a way to give "voice to the poor" and increase transparency and participation in governance.
Why the future of African journalism lies in mobile social networks
The document discusses the future of journalism in Africa and how it will likely lie in mobile social networks. It notes that while internet access in Africa is currently low and skewed towards wealthy urban elites, mobile phone use is growing rapidly. Mobile social networks and SMS can help foster more inclusive and representative conversations. For African journalism to fully utilize social media, media organizations will need to improve ICT infrastructure, develop policies, and form partnerships with ICT and development organizations. The future of African social media will be driven by mobile platforms more than desktop access.

Power Grid Model
The global energy transition is placing new and unprecedented demands on Distribution System Operators (DSOs). Alongside upgrades to grid capacity, processes such as digitization, capacity optimization, and congestion management are becoming vital for delivering reliable services.
Power Grid Model is an open source project from Linux Foundation Energy and provides a calculation engine that is increasingly essential for DSOs. It offers a standards-based foundation enabling real-time power systems analysis, simulations of electrical power grids, and sophisticated what-if analysis. In addition, it enables in-depth studies and analysis of the electrical power grid’s behavior and performance. This comprehensive model incorporates essential factors such as power generation capacity, electrical losses, voltage levels, power flows, and system stability.
Power Grid Model is currently being applied in a wide variety of use cases, including grid planning, expansion, reliability, and congestion studies. It can also help in analyzing the impact of renewable energy integration, assessing the effects of disturbances or faults, and developing strategies for grid control and optimization.
What to expect
For the upcoming meetup we are organizing, we have an exciting lineup of activities planned:
-Insightful presentations covering two practical applications of the Power Grid Model.
-An update on the latest advancements in Power Grid -Model technology during the first and second quarters of 2024.
-An interactive brainstorming session to discuss and propose new feature requests.
-An opportunity to connect with fellow Power Grid Model enthusiasts and users.
