Research
Our Design team assists individuals and organizations in responding to human needs with studious inquiry and investigation processes aimed at the discovery and interpretation of data about ICTs. We do this through self initiated as well as collaborative research with like-minded organizations. This research allows the greater ICT4D community to respond promptly and accurately to changes in the technology landscape. We are constantly scouting for new technologies that will reduce costs, increase sustainability and promote adoption of ICT solutions in rural areas. Through this research, 1ViLLAGE is always able to recommend the latest, most effective ICT solutions.
