Thanks Houda, excellent point. Any suggestion is very welcome. All the reported practices include capacity-building components.

Best, Leandro.

> The document is based on operational experience from community-led deployments in Spain, Argentina, and Senegal (eReuse.org, EKOA/UNLP, TAU/RAEE, Solidança, Hahatay), and aims to complement GAIA research by documenting reproducible practices related to device availability, repairability, collective access, and lifecycle governance. Devices include user and network devices, since both are needed to enable meaningful connectivity to the unconnected.
