MainOne (West Africa's connectivity and data centre provider) and AWALE (network operator) co-operated to support the Ivoirian government fight against the Coronavirus pandemic and uphold the emergency deployment plan of the Ministry of Digital Economy and Postal Services. The collaboration further includes the provision of free connectivity capacity and Internet services to strategic state institutions for three months. This aims to enhance connectivity to provide the government's Crisis Committee with robust access to real-time information management, whilst seamlessly connecting essential workers across the nation. It also helps promote scientific exchange and access to global knowledge on issues related to control and management of the Coronavirus.
