Making the Connection: Scaling Telecenters for Development aims to organize the thought and discussion that has accompanied the telecenter movement over the past decade. Brimming with loosely defined frameworks, case studies, and best practices, the guide presents an approach to planning, deployment, and management with sustainability and scalability in mind. Our goal is to inspire you, to help you move forward, and—whenever possible—to guide you. Read the book > |
Defined as a place where a community can access information and communication technologies and additional services, telecenters—also known as community technology centers, infocenters, etc.—have become essential tools in bridging the digital divide. Telecenters improve community access to a variety of information services, provide job opportunities and skill enhancement, and connect a community to its government and the global marketplace.

As a complement to Making the Connection: Scaling Telecenters for Development, Microsoft and telecentre.org have joined forces to create the Telecentre Knowledge Network. This site connects telecenter activists, networks, government sponsors, members of the private sector, and other stakeholders with each other and with shared resources to create an online community.
