Service Description
Africa Telecomms Database

In 2004, GreenNet was commissioned by the ‘Catalysing Access to ICTs in Africa’ project (component 1a), to design a technical solution for a telecoms licensing ‘One Stop Shop’ – basically everything you ever wanted to know about telecommunications regulations and licenses across Africa under one roof. We designed the system with a distributed database built on ActionApps, which comprises 64 independent nodes.

The Global Call for Action Against Poverty is the international coalition which supported national White Band anti-poverty campaigns such as the UK’s ‘Make Poverty History’. The GCAP website project was the result of a collaboration between GreenNet and our sister networks – Choike in Uruguay and Laneta in Mexico. The site features daily news updates in 4 languages, e-campaigning tools, poverty stats mapping, and a photo gallery. We’re also pleased to announce that GCAP has been the recipient of the 2005 International Achievement Award for Excellence in Communication given by Inter Press Service (IPS) news agency.
