Phase 1
9 DTCs have been selected globally to participate in Phase 1 of the Initiative, from Africa (4), Americas (2) and Asia Pacific regions (3). Phase 1 runs for 21 months from January 2020 to September 2021. During this phase, with the support of ITU, Cisco and other partners, the 9 selected DTCs deliver training at basic and intermediate level to citizens with a focus on rural and underserved communities. At the end of phase 1, which serves as a pilot phase, more DTCs will be able to join the network.
