Kelabit community proud of e-Bario project

BARIO – The Kelabit community in the Bario highlands are proud of the eBario project which won an award at the recent eAsia Week in Taipei. e-Bario is a joint pilot project undertaken by Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) and the local community in Bario.

The research project involves the innovative application of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) with the goal of continually sustaining social and economic programmes in a rural community which does not have basic amenities such as electricity, water and telecommunications.
