Community Networks Meet Community Currencies

This manual is all about building bottom-up infrastructure, specifically an intervention to bootstrap: 1) A community inclusion currency (voucher) in your community to amplify local markets (this system is powered by the Grassroots Economics Community Inclusion Currency Platform); 2) A local community network and a local content and services platform to move control and ownership of the network to actors in the community and amplify the creation, sharing and curation of locally relevant content and services (this system is powered by the iNethi platform). These two decentralized worlds (community inclusion currencies and locally owned networks, content and services) have been integrated and users are, for example, able to purchase internet vouchers and other digital services on the iNethi platform with a community inclusion currency (voucher).
