VisionThe vision for the First Mile First Inch project is to have:
BackgroundBasic access to communication and information services remains an obstacle to the economic development of low-density (rural) communities. The aim of the FMFI project is to identify and develop models and technology that will overcome these obstacles. The project will also establish a network of researchers and a community of innovators to research least cost, open source solutions for community projects. A well-managed organisation of a number of sub-projects with various project collaborators in the three different African countries of Angola, Mozambique and South Africa, will constitute the beginnings of the FMFI initiatives.
FMFI ConceptsThe First Mile First Inch (FMFI) project is a paradigm shift from the traditional "last mile" and "last inch" thinking representing a more bottom-up grassroots approach to innovation and focusing on the end user.
