This session will share experiences and insights from Ghana’s community network ecosystem, exploring how community networks are organized and operated, the technologies they use, and the approaches they take to governance and financial sustainability. It will discuss key achievements and challenges in expanding community-owned and community-centered connectivity, including regulatory and operational barriers.

The session will also examine ongoing engagement with stakeholders, particularly Ghana’s National Communications Authority (NCA), to advance dialogue on community networks and identify opportunities for collaboration that can support their growth and extend connectivity to underserved communities.
