Baseline Survey on Empowering the Rural Areas through Community e-Centers (CeCs) under the SASEC Program

2009

This study was to establish a baseline for strengthening ICT application in the control and treatment communities in four selected districts. It also provided an understanding of the viable conditions and other requirements necessary for the development of a sustainable Community e-Centres (CeC) model for the empowerment of rural communities and to help improve the quality of life of the people living in those communities. The study also explores the socio-economic status of the people living in the areas and assesses their exposure to and use of ICT applications.
