Village kiosk for community centers to improve livelihood of villagers.

Village of the Future is a collaborative program initiated by Xyntéo, to bolster village kiosks or community centers to empower individuals and communities to improve villagers’ livelihood and life quality and create better, more inclusive growth, while at the same time strengthening partners’ last-mile engagement to rural communities.

At its core will be a cross-sector digital platform in support of content and applications relevant to stakeholders – residents, organizations and businesses – in the rural market.

Introduction of the rural platform will be supported by a village engagement program executed on site by local NGO’s. All core collaborators of the project will be involved in fine-tuning the MVP (minimum viable product) design of the project during the first three months of the piloting phase. This will be followed by 3 months of live iterative testing and refinement in targeted pilot villages. Following the pilot phase, the tested platform and on-the-ground engagement program will be scaled to reach 6,800 hub villages (each extending impact to 4 surrounding villages, thus reaching a total of 25,000 villages) in the next 5 years.

Village of the Future as a project was created to help make better growth a possibility, with the intent of testing and developing a full market solution enabling a rise in rural living standards. Initially the rural engagement platform we be tested and developed for the Myanmar region, and scale to the next rural markets of interests based on project interests.
