The WSIS Prizes, announced May 28, 2024, recognized innovative technological approaches supporting sustainable development and bridging the digital divide. Projects from 18 countries received top honors for fostering digital inclusion and socio-economic progress.

Among these efforts, the Tanzania Digital Inclusion Project (TADIP) addresses internet poverty in Tanzania, where suspected telecom collusion leads to unaffordable access. TADIP utilizes a "strength in numbers" cooperative model, enabling communities to share broadband infrastructure and data costs. This approach aims to provide affordable, meaningful internet to 4 million citizens, offer digital skills to 1.5 million youth and women, engage 100,000 girls in STEM, and establish 200 community innovation hubs.

Its core mission is cost-sharing, not profit, to ensure widespread, affordable internet access. Learn more about TADIP on LinkedIn.
