Principles for Community-Centred Connectivity Initiatives

This document outlines 13 guiding principles for developing community-centred connectivity initiatives. It emphasizes the social mission of these initiatives, ensuring they meet local needs, foster community participation, and promote human rights, gender inclusion, and environmental awareness. The principles serve as a foundation for creating sustainable, equitable, and community-led communication infrastructure, especially in underserved regions. Developed through consultations, the principles aim to distinguish community-centred initiatives from traditional service providers by prioritizing social impact over profit.
