Forging Innovations: Community Multimedia Centres in Nepal

Forging Innovations: Community Multimedia Centres in Nepal

[2007] This collection of case studies intends to showcase the diverse growth of three Community Multimedia Centres (CMCs) supported by Unesco in Nepal since 2003, in an effort to understand their social impact. 

The case studies show how local communities accessed and utilised newly available ICT tools in different ways. The authors carried out field visits to interview managers, staff, local researchers, community reporters, volunteers and community people. This allowed to identify some key issues which can assist in providing ICT access to poor and marginalised communities in Nepal.
