Disadvantaged populations need access that is both affordable and available in an appropriate social and cultural context. Successful examples of First Mile innovation are focused on in this policy brief, such as the project centred on a community HIV/AIDS clinic in Peebles Valley, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. The paper provides a breakdown about how the project was implemented, giving details of building the infrastructure that supported the clinic network. Other projects include schools and businesses and the licensing of network providers.1 digital file (12 p. : ill.)application/pdfenRURAL POPULATIONICT POLICYACCESS TO INFORMATIONTELECOMMUNICATIONSINTERNETACCESS TO ICTNETWORKSLOCALIZATIONE-HEALTHSOUTH OF SAHARAINFRASTRUCTUREHEALTH FACILITIESPolicy Brief
