In developing countries, the lack of means, infrastructure, and technologies have increased basic needs, reduced citizen participation, and delayed social, economic, and political transformation processes. This is especially noticeable in the governance limitations caused by the digital gap in the case examined here, i.e., the 13 de Noviembre neighbourhood in the 8th district in Medellin, Colombia. The objective of this study was to design and implement a technology platform that provided services through a web portal to this vulnerable population as a governance improvement strategy. A wireless network infrastructure in the ISM band was designed and implemented, and services were enabled through a captive portal with authentication. The appropriation of ICTs enables the implementation of strategies to improve governance because citizens can conduct multiple activities online: access services and procedures, participate in e-government, take informal education courses, generate citizen participation mechanisms, boost new ventures, and promote local businesses
