Following a coup d’état in Bamako, the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster (ETC) was activated on 5th April 2012 to provide vital security communications and internet connectivity services to the community responding to urgent humanitarian needs.
emergency.lu supported the cluster with one system deployed in Mopti. A second kit was on standby in Bamako.
After two years of operations, ETC functions were mainstreamed into normal operations of the humanitarian systems.
