Connectivity & Access

Angola has strong connectivity infrastructure, with 3G and 4G networks covering more than 75% percent of the population, and 5G available in select areas.

However, refugees continue to face disproportionate barriers to accessing connectivity and fully participating online including residing in remote areas where network coverage remains limited.

Our Work

Our work focuses on expanding connectivity access and digital inclusion programs to meet the needs of forcibly displaced and host communities while also advancing sustainable solutions, all informed by timely, refugee-specific data.
