The Asociación del Consorcio Interinstitucional para una Agricultura Sostenible en la Ladera, Colombia, is developing a community telecenter for fishermen in Cauca with the help of Panda Software. This project was chosen by the selection committee of the ONG grant program, Panda IT Aid (www.pandaitaid.com), to benefit from free Panda Software security solutions for the telecenter.
This project involves setting up a pilot Agro-industrial telecenter, based on information and communications technologies that allow the rural population (small producers and educational communities) in Colombia’s Cauca state to increase productivity, commerce, human development, decision-making capacity, and local impact to favor the rural population. The project will reach 1,365 teenagers, 1,227 children, and 1,110 adults.
