Project Rural MPowerment by Mobitel (Pvt) Ltd in Colombo, Sri Lanka

2020 PMI Project Excellence Award winner

Twenty-six years of civil war took a toll on Sri Lanka and its economy. The country has made tremendous progress over the past decade. But, to truly advance, government leaders knew there was one missing piece–internet for the nearly 75% of the population living in rural areas.

So, Mobitel, the country’s national mobile service provider set out with a bold plan to expand its broadband services.
