Description of the Assignment:

The Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT), through the Free Public Internet Access Program (FPIAP), aims to deliver inclusive, reliable internet connectivity to underserved and geographically isolated communities across the Philippines. As the program expands, institutionalizing it as a regular service within DICT has become critical to ensure long-term sustainability, efficiency, and accountability.
