"Giga is a partnership between ITU and UNICEF: to connect every school of the planet to the Internet, and every young person to information, opportunity and choice. Giga uses space technologies, satellite imagery, artificial intelligence, and machine learning to map schools and their connectivity, including those in hard to reach and very remote areas. In partnership with governments and industry leaders, Giga also helps model the optimal connectivity solutions and the potential financial mechanisms to provide schools with reliable, good quality and sustainable connectivity. Giga also serves as a platform, linking partners and initiatives, to ensure that we provide learners with the relevant digital skills, services and solutions to fully enhance their potential."
