Description

RCCPII is the Rural Campuses Connection Project phase II.

Since 2010 RCCP I and RCCP II have been working with stakeholders to bring Internet connectivity to various higher education and research sites around South Africa. The project is a collaboration between DHET, USAF, TENET, and others.

This app summarises the impact of the Capacity Development Initiative within RCCPII in terms of activities that have taken place and the beneficiaries of the initiative. The app can be used to explore activities and beneficiaries on a map and to draw plots with different combinations of categories. These plots can be downloaded for inclusion in presentations or reports.
