Before the pandemic NetHope members needed to meet the infrastructure needs of a collection of people in a fixed location - the office. From internet connectivity to electricity supply and backup power, meeting these needs for offices has been our comfort zone where we have developed our competency.

The pandemic forced our team members to work separately from their homes, and we have adapted in various ways to support their individual infrastructure needs. What have we learned from this and what opportunities has it created that will be of value after the pandemic?

Can we scale our infrastructure efforts effectively in the opposite direction and share infrastructure with other organisations that are located nearby? Renewable energy solutions work better on larger, shared scales. What are the barriers to us cooperating around this? How can we overcome them?
