Madagascar’s Ministry of Digital Development, Digital Transformation, Posts and Telecommunications (MNDPT) has installed hotspots to provide free internet in the district of Betioky Sud, according to local reports. This initiative is part of the government’s project to open up rural areas and give internet access to people who usually go without. It has already been implemented in the districts of Ampanihy, Sakaraha and Toliara and should be extended to other regions in due course. The free Internet will allow the population, especially the youth, to do research and master the new information and communication technologies.
