The real question here is "WHO are we trying to influence and WHY". Once we have answered this the HOW becomes easier to identify. After twenty years worrking in the telecentre environment it has become obvious to me that clarity of focus (who and...

Thanks for the idea I am adding
The issues with base line surveys, quickly they get out dated as telecenters quickly develop/change and some times get closed, it's important for us to maintain data more accurately at provincial, leve...
