Supporting a community of trainers (pdf 390kb)

This brief examines research conducted by IICD in 2005, with the objective to identify the information needs of computer and internet trainers who provide services to development projects and organisations.

It explores capacity building as being an essential step towards the use of ICTs for development, incorporating such questions as, what can a trainer in Nepal learn from a trainer in Zambia? Are they interested in sharing ideas and helping each other while on other sides of the globe? And what can a development organisation do to foster such learning processes?
