The Connecting the Unconnected funding programme supports communities and local organisations working to build and expand Internet infrastructure to connect people living in rural, remote, and low-income areas. This includes initiatives such as community networks, municipal networks, cooperatives, and other forms of complementary access solutions. Communities and local organisations can apply to either build a new complementary access solution to connect the unconnected or expand an existing one.
