b. manage a Community Multimedia Centre(CMC) as a socially and economically sustainable enterprise within a community development framework
2.Establish 3 CMCs to facilitate on-going access to multi-media training, and to provide general support for community information, communication and training needs.
3.Build capacity within the Container Project to develop local content training materials for multi-media skills
4. Develop a network of public, private and not-for-profit organizations, and individuals, both local and overseas, to provide on-going support (knowledge and information sharing, business linkages) for each community?s identified needs
5. Document the end-to-end processes involved in the establishment and operationalization of the CMCs and disseminate as case studies to share the lessons learnt locally and internationally.
