Giga ) is a partnership between
UNICEF ) and the ITU ) working to connect every school in the world. The team (bal/about-us/) has experience and background in building technology products, finance and investment, design, and infrastructure.

It's a global team, with two ?centers of gravity? (in Barcelona, Spain and Geneva, Switzerland) but with many team members located around the world.

Giga is broken into three main areas: Mapping, Finance, Procurement, supported by cross-cutting support services. The Country Engagement Team supports the initiation and implementation of all three areas of Giga's support in countries.

The Mapping team maps schools and their connectivity, creating a real-time display of access and need on Project Connect ( The Finance team works to create the financing (grant, loan, and investment) for connectivity.

The Procurement works closely with
UNICEF Supply Division to support governments through public procurement processes for contracting sustainable, high quality and affordable school connectivity.

There are also crosscutting teams that support on communications, partnerships, staff wellbeing, operations and finance.


We aim to have agility and flexibility in how we work, and to be driven by realtime data about what we're doing.

We also work within the political and global framework of the UN, which means that we can collaborate with policy makers and regulators, governments, civil society, and of course, most closely with our 135 country offices, in everything we do.

How can you make a difference?
