More challenging than digital inclusion in urban areas is to provide access to information and communication technology in rural areas, which are characterized by very low population density and poor infrastructure. The Brazilian Federal Government observed that most urban initiatives in digital solidarity were not able to overcome the difficulties of working far from urban centers, and launched the Digital Territories nationwide project, which is part of a nationwide program: Citizenship Territories. Although it has a dynamic methodology - a necessary condition to respect and preserve local identities - it is based on a framework, which is presented in the following work, conceived through a process over a long period of time, involving a wide range of stakeholders, including the rural communities themselves.
