Where a district hospital is a day away, a working connection is often the only available service delivery route. The same terrain that makes services hard to deliver makes monitoring hard, and artificial intelligence and remote sensing now let slopes, forests, water and weather be watched at a scale ground surveys cannot match. This track examines digital access and AI applied to the region's development challenges: monitoring and early warning, service delivery in remote terrain, decision support for agencies, and the digital skills that let communities use these tools rather than only be measured by them.
