Graphic with three colorful shapes on a green background, each containing a question about community connectivity initiatives: 'What do CCCIs need to become stronger and thrive?', 'What are the main barriers faced by initiatives that address the digital inclusion of unserved or underserved communities?', and 'What is that impedes them from growing and being sustainable in an affordable and appropriate way for communities?'. Decorative lines and a question mark are also included.
