ICT Community centers in rural Benin
ISOCEL SA plans also to extend coverage of its wireless broadband access network to the cities of Bohicon, Djougou, Ouidah, Parakou, Porto Novo and Savalou.
...and help create demand and thus a market, potentially allowing these communities to skip some of the steps taken earlier by the developed countries and accelerate their speed of education, information gathering or growth of their business through state of the art equipment and training methodologies



The financial support of the Government of the Netherlands is to cover 50% of overall investment. The rest of the investment required, amounting to 300.000 €, will be provided by ISOCEL SA through medium-term loans and in the form of equity.

The Benin government will also support the project by offering preferred rates for the acquisition of additional international bandwidth capacity on submarine cable SAT3 and for interconnecting the various sites across Benin through the national fiber backbone managed by the incumbent Benin Telecom SA, which connects the south of Benin to the borders of Niger and Burkina Faso.
