“Poverty is created scarcity”

03.00 THE PRESENT SITUATION IN THE PROJECT AREA

03.07  Information and communication.

The means of communication in rural areas are scarce. Minimal telephone services are available. Some people have mobile phone. Postal services are also poor and centralized in the larger centres. Few ordinary people use these forms of communication which tend to be limited to business, security, and leisure. The telephone services are expensive. Land line charges are about € 0.65 per 3 minutes. The cheapest mobile handset is € 65.

Infrastructural development with improved means of communication are perceived to be very important in the project area. Even trading centres in the various sub-locations lack telephone services.
