dc.description.abstractThe project was implemented using a participatory action research methodology. Farmers’ access to information was achieved through establishment of two telecentres and six village information centres (VICEs). Telecentres were each equipped with computer, printer, photocopier, and telephone. In addition, the district level telecentre could access the Internet. Village information centres were equipped with solar charged telephone sets and a library of information. The project developed an effective strategy for service providers to respond to farmers’ information needs with a sustainable system of demand-driven information delivery between farmers and information providers.en
