2 Content Introduction Information and Communication Technology (ICT) In developing countries Programmes and services MCTs and CMCs Conclusions
3 Introduction Internet is widely viewed as the prototype technology of the information era Internet and CD-ROMs have great potential to reinforce educational reform, due to their flexibility and potential for interactivity

6 ICT in Asia Suggestion: Sustainable, cost-effective, shared community facility Servicing most of the requirements of the local population Multipurpose, shared facility: Community Multimedia Center (CMC) and Multipurpose Community Telecentre (MCT)
7 ICT in Asia MCTs and CMCs can be: Community owned Operated as a franchise or Sponsored by an entity such as: Regional Development State or Central Government or An international organization such as UNESCO CMCs can offer: Radio
8 ICT in Asia What do people think a MCT/CMC are? Phone services only, or Phone services plus /internet, or All of the above plus fax and photocopier or All of the above plus a wide range of services and programs or All of the above plus local radio.
9 ICT in Asia What basic services can MCTs/CMCs offer? , Internet Computer use Photocopying Scanning Printing Telephone Access
10 What programs & services can MCTs/CMCs offer? Government forms & information On-Line Market prices Youth Club Computer Club Business Club Seniors Club Arts/Craft Club Disabled Persons support Meeting facilities Office space for daily rental

16
17 Conclusions Progress has been pronounced in Asia with substantial levels of international support The applications which are identified are often in the pilot or planning stage The greatest problem encountered by application developers and users in developing countries is limited availability and high costs of access to the Internet, particularly in smaller, disadvantaged and rural communities.
18 Conclusions MCT's and CMC s represent two approaches which are very promising models The international community has a continuing, important responsibility, in collaboration with Asian governments and civil society organizations: to promote innovative MCT and CMC at the community level, to share successful approaches in community empowerment and development.
