访问数字平台:“移动”网络覆盖报告可以依赖吗?赞比亚和津巴布韦农村的观察

Access to Digital Platforms: Can 'Mobile' Network Coverage Reports be Relied Upon? Observations from Rural Zambia and Zimbabwe

Gertjan van Stam

摘要:

由于非洲的数字平台主要是通过“移动”网络访问的,本文讨论了关于“移动”访问的普遍化报告与赞比亚和津巴布韦数字卫生实践和案例的经验之间的不匹配。此外,本文还从非洲的角度对接入和第四次工业革命等术语的含义进行了批判性的阐述。它认为有必要投资于背景研究和开发,也要全面了解如何在非洲和从非洲访问数字平台。

英文摘要:

As access to digital platforms in Africa is mostly through 'mobile' networks, this paper addresses the mismatch of universalised reports on 'mobile' access and the experiences from digital health practice and cases in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Further, the paper shines a critical light on the meaning of terms like access and the 4th industrial revolution from an African context. It argues for the need to invest in contextual research and development, also to gain a comprehensive understanding of how to access digital platforms in and from Africa.
