After several West African countries, StarTimes' project to provide satellite TV access to 10,000 African villages is now expanding to Côte d'Ivoire.
This project involves equipping 10,000 villages across Africa with satellite television. To this end, each village receives two projectors, a 32-inch digital TV, and 20 StarTimes decoder kits. The projectors and TVs are equipped with solar power kits and are set up in public spaces in the villages, such as schools or clinics, to allow all villagers, especially children, to enjoy television programs.
The Chinese digital television operator was chosen to implement this project under the leadership of the Chinese government in collaboration with African governments.
A cornerstone of Sino-African cooperation, the project is also part of StarTimes' strategy to support the transition of African countries to digital technology.
Other French-speaking countries such as Senegal, Cameroon, Benin, and Congo-Brazzaville will also benefit from this project.
