Written by practitioners and researchers working on CMCs (Community Multimedia Centres) or ICT (Information and Communication Technology) for development, this book is meant to be a practical tool designed for those involved in CMCs or other models of community media (information centres, multipurpose telecentres, community learning centres, etc.).

It may be of particular use to those wanting to start a CMC or a related information centre, as it covers a range of topics linked to community broadcasting and telecentre management.

Specific CMC issues, ranging from types of CMC to relevant technologies, community involvement, developing training and skills, organisational matters, research and evaluation, sustainability and sourcing information, and contents are dealt with in eleven chapters. It contains numerous illustrations, practical examples and case studies from operational CMCs, which makes it a user-friendly reference.
