Abstract

Mozambique’s telecentre movement is a strategy based on community multimedia centres (CMCs), incorporating community radio and telecentre components, the helpnet/network, and bringing together all community ICT initiatives. The project contributes towards the expansion and consolidation of CMC’s through a Community Information and Communication Support Centre (CAICC) and integrated helpdesk. CAICC activities include: communication networks operations support, website and blog; helpdesk online; formal and on-the-job training and advice; staff exchanges; and training products disseminated on and offline. At the national level CAICC coordinated with key actors in community ICTs, and at international level participated in African and global networks.
