Village phone replication manual

This manual provides guidance on how to develop and replicate village phone programs in developing countries.

It draws on the Grameen Bank's experience in both Bangladesh and Uganda in bringing affordable and effective telecommunication options to the rural poor and creating viable new businesses for micro-entrepreneurs.

It also provides guidance on strategies to ensure the ongoing sustainability of such programs.
