LESSON LEARNED.
There is still large number of people who are unaware
of the IoT, protection of data, and privacy of
consumers.
There is high demand for capacity building as well as
promotion of IoT in the public.
Most of women and girls are not aware of the IoT and

More resources, especially financial resources is
required for creating awareness.
