Community Information Centres: Towards an inclusive Zimbabwean Information Society


Description

The CIC Programme promotes Universal access to ICTs by all Zimbabweans in urban, rural and remote areas and narrows the digital divide between urban and rural communities, all genders and the rich and poor. The Programme does this through providing relevant infrastructure, Internet service, equipment and ICT literacy training. At the centres, members of the community can create documents, print, scan and fax documents, find information related to their agricultural or other economic projects and markets, apply for Secondary School and University places and employment on-line, as well as communicate with relevant business people and friends. It aids development.
