CWRC Launches Community Wireless Networks in two telecentres

In July 2007, community wireless networks were implemented at telecentres in Lira and Nabweru by the Community Wireless Resource Centre (CWRC). The CWRC team included CWRC staff and four electrical engineering students who are doing industrial training under CWRC. This intervention arose out of the need to reduce the high cost of internet connectivity at IDRC-supported telecentres in Uganda, to explore optimal connectivity models such as sharing the existing bandwidth with neighboring institutions via outdoor wireless networks and to provide internet access to these partners without need for heavy initial investments in satellite hardware and subscriptions.

The Problem
The work of CBOs & NGOs in developing countries is vital to millions of people. However,fund-raising for these organizations is particularly difficult, for numerous reasons:
o There is often great competition among numerous local groups for scarce local
financial resources.
o International funders are reluctant to fund community-based NGOs “directly”, because of a perception of lack of accountability, difficulty in establishing credible references, practical issues with resource transfers, and numerous tax questions. (more…)

A commercial low power computer was launched by California based company Inveneo in Kampala last week. The computer system uses three options of power supply including solar and a normal 12V battery as an alternative source to conventional power.
The computer was launched by Inveneo with support from the Ugandan government through the ministry of Information and Communication Technology.
This computer requires 6 to 10 times less power than a standard desktop computer, eliminating the need for generators, inverters, converters andUPS. (more…)

गाउँमा सूचना केन्द्र

कुलचन्द्र न्यौपाने

धिताल -कास्की, जेठ ८ - स्थानीय उत्पादनलाई बजारसम्म पहुँच पुर्‍याउन कास्की धिताल गाविस अस्तामबासीले ग्रामीण सूचना केन्द्र खोलेका छन् । सबै गाउँलेलाई पायक पर्ने थलोमा खोलिएको केन्द्र विज्ञापन र समाचारको केन्द्र पनि बनेको छ ।
यसै सातादेखि खोलिएको केन्द्रबाट गाउँभरी खरिद बिक्रीसम्बन्धी विज्ञापन र देश विदेशका खवर थाहा पाउन सकिन्छ । ‘गाउँमा कसैको अन्नपात वा पशु चौपाया खरिद गर्न परे पनि एक अर्काबीच थाहा पाउनै समस्या भो’ स्थानीयबासी बुद्धिप्रसाद अधिकारीले भने- ‘किन्नेलाई पनि घरैपिच्छे सोध्दै हिंड्न गाह्रो, केन्द्र खुलेपछि त सबैलाई ढुक्क ।’

केन्द्रको अवधारणा ल्याएका हुन् नेपाल ग्रामीण सूचना प्रविधि विकास समाजका संचालक सुदिप अर्यालले । उनका अनुसार स्याङजा, भक्तपुर, दाङ र कास्कीमा गरी अहिलेसम्म गाउँमा दुर्गम १२ ठाउँमा केन्द्र स्थापना भइसकेका छन् । केन्द्र खोल्न ठूलो सहयोग पनि चाहिंदैन । ‘सबै भेला हुने थलोमा एउटा ठूलो सूचना पार्टीमा यी सबै काम हुनसक्छन्’ उनले भने- ‘सुरुमा विज्ञापनबाट सुरु हुन्छ, त्यसपछि इन्टरनेट र ई-कमर्शका बारेमा पनि जानकारी गराउने लक्ष्य छ ।’ (more…)

१ पृष्ठभूमि
नेपाल अर्थात् पश्चिमाञ्चल विकासक्षेत्रस्थित स्याङ्जा जिल्ला लोकगीतका लागि प्रसिद्ध ठाउँहरूमध्ये एक हो। आँधीखोला यस जिल्लाको मुख्य खोलो हो। नेपाली लोकगीतको एउटा भेद रोइला यस क्षेत्रको सांस्कृतिक सम्पदा हो। यस क्षेत्रमा सडक यातायात सुरु हुनुअघि अर्थात् सिद्धार्थ राजमार्ग (सुनौली–पोखरा) बन्नुअघि आँधीखोलाको किनार पोखरादेखि बुटवल (बटौली) सम्मको व्यापारिक मार्गको एउटा खण्ड थियो। लोकगीतको मुख्य क्षेत्र हुनु र व्यापारिक मार्गमा हुनु यी दुई कारणबाट निश्चित रूपमा लोकगीतको प्रसारमा यस क्षेत्रको भूमिका उल्लेख्य छ भन्ने प्रस्टिन्छ। (more…)
