Rural Telecommunication Infrastructure Expansion Project

This project aims to expand telecommunication infrastructure in rural areas by achieving coverage targets for households and institutions. Through implementation plans involving private and public sectors, community telecenters with broadband access will be established to provide IT services and training for sustainable development. The project also includes regulatory support mechanisms, subsidy provisions for service providers, and coordination boards for effective implementation. Monitoring activities such as network management, field visits, and impact studies ensure project success.
