What is Connecting with You for ANSES beneficiaries
Connecting with You is a program launched by Enacom and seeks to promote access to equipment that contributes to insertion, integration and social development through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs).
As Enacom sources confirmed to Infobae this Thursday, within the objective universe of the program are the holders of the Universal Child Allowance (AUH), the holders of the Progresar Scholarships, retirees, pensioners and monotributistas. However, they clarified that “people cannot sign up to receive the tablets, but this is done through agreements.”
On March 29, the Enacom vice president, Gustavo López, and the Peronist national deputy Victoria Tolosa Paz led an event in La Plata in which they delivered 4,000 tablets to beneficiaries of the National Plan Connected With You, an initiative that promotes access to a equipment that contributes to insertion, integration and social development through the use of information and communication technologies.
In front of a significant number of residents of the Platense Club of the Buenos Aires capital,Tolosa Paz and López carried out the first massive delivery of tablets in the Province of Buenos Aires.According to the national deputy, they are tablets aimed at a vulnerable population, “which is the population that the President (Alberto Fernández) wants to reach either with the subsidised rate, forcing connectivity providers to take care of this population or delivering the equipment.
Likewise, during the act, a non-reimbursable contribution of $117,542,803 was signed for the Cooperativa Telefónica y de Electricidad de Abasto, which will allow the extension of fiber optics to 14 popular neighbourhoods in the western region of the La Plata district.
