WSIS Prizes Contest 2021 Nominee

JakWIFI


Description

The cost of internet network access could become a burden for some community, especially in this era of globalization, where technology is becoming more widely used. Plus, the conditions during the pandemic that require everything to be carried out online have increased the need for the internet, especially in education, where many parents complain about the need for internet access for their children's schools every day. To support this, the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, as a city that supports digital acceleration, presents public services in the form of free wifi in public places in Jakarta. This service is the result of a collaboration between the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government, represented by Jakarta Smart City (JSC) with Molecool (a startup company). The public can access this feature through the Jakarta Kini (JAKI) application, which is an integrated public service application owned by the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government. With this feature, people can easily access the internet anywhere and save on the cost of spending for their personal internet quota.

Sustainability

The provision of the JakWIFI feature is an effort to bring equality in internet access so that all people can get information and knowledge more broadly and easily. This is as mandated in the High-Level Panel on the Post-2015 development agenda, which is the basis for the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), namely the principle of "Leave no one behind."
