The first digital school was launched in Mozambique within the framework of confronting the coronavirus (COVID-19) in rural areas.<\/p>\n

The Community Tablet initiative launched the school which depended on solar-powered tablets with an aim to disseminate awareness in rural communities about the preventive measures that should be adopted to curb the spread of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

The Community Tablet is a container consisting of four to six large LCD screens, powered by solar panels and transported by trailer, which can be attached to anything \u2013 from a motor vehicle to a donkey.<\/p>\n

The interactive touch screen can be linked with cameras and a large screen to allow inclusive and group outdoor video conferencing. The touch screen can also disseminate videos, and can also be used as a digital white board. For connectivity, the tablet is linked to the internet network\u00a0via\u00a0the Global System for Mobile\u00a0Communications (GSM) or by satellite. This infrastructure is also prepared with a plug-and-play cold chain compartment, which can incorporate fridges or a freezer to allow for the storing and handling of vaccines<\/p>\n

The Community Tablet delivers customized animations that are relevant and familiar to local communities. Gamification helps to increase engagement, while also collecting vital data to demonstrate how well a message has been understood.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe use solar-powered tablets to conduct community education campaigns on financial education, contraception and HIV, health, vaccinations, civic education, and now to inform communities about measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19,\u201d says Dayn Amade, founder of the\u00a0Tablet Comunit\u00e1rio\/Community Tablet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the outbreak of the novel corona virus and realizing the need to disseminate information about the spread and prevention of COVID-19 and other health-related issues, the Community Tablet initiative, with support received from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the\u00a0Global Environment Facility<\/a>\u00a0(GEF), is conducting digital campaigns in communities that are otherwise excluded from digital information.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe need for innovative measures to reach communities with the message of how to prevent the spread of the pandemic cannot be underestimated in times like these. With the use of power from solar panels, we can display digital information in video form, which makes it much easier for rural communities to understand the message about COVID19,\u201d explains Amade.<\/p>\n

The Community Tablet initiative is part of a technology transfer cluster hosted by UNIDO in Mozambique.\u00a0Since hitting the road in 2015, it has helped to educate more than one million Mozambicans across 90 communities.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, UNIDO handed over 10 solar kits, enabling the initiative to start converting the Community Tablets from diesel to solar power.<\/p>\n

For several years, the Community Tablets were being powered by diesel generators which contributed to a higher operational costs as well as negative impacts on the environment. The promoter gradually started to look for more sustainable solutions to overcome this problem, and they experimented solar power but the cost was still very much prohibitive at a local level. Now with the solar kits, consisting of a five 250w solar panels, one 3kW hybrid inverter, four 200AH batteries and accessories including circuit breakers, plugs and terminals, the Community Tablets are being converted to solar power. So far three out of 10 Community Tablets have been converted.<\/p>\n

Besides supporting the Community Tablet\u2019s ongoing work on a wide range of topical issues, the solar-powered tablets will be used for the purpose of knowledge transfer during renewable energy-related capacity building and technology demonstration sessions as part of UNIDO\u2019s\u00a0\u2019Towards Sustainable Energy for All in Mozambique<\/a>\u00a0project.<\/p>\n

Amade explained that the 10 solar kits would not only make the use of Community Tablet more effective, but would also reduce the expense of the panels and accessories such as inverters and batteries. \u201cOne solar kit alone and its accessories in Mozambique is very expensive, but with the kits that UNIDO has provided, the cost will be reduced by 35%.\u201d<\/p>\n

To date, the digital health education campaigns have reached 1,900 people in 31 districts have been reached through. Of these, 500 (mostly women) have been reached during the COVID-19 education campaign conducted in May and June 2020.<\/p>\n

The Community Tablet initiative, with UNIDO and the GEF\u2019s support, is also planning to reach communities located on islands in Mozambique. The amphibious tablet is the current innovation powered by solar energy with the aim of offering health solutions to communities residing in hard-to-reach places.<\/p>\n
