Developing Content for the Community

This case study details the e-Knowledge Public Domain project that aims to extend the use of Community e-Centers in the Philippines from simply being a means to access information to becoming local knowledge production centres. The strategy is to develop appropriate ICT skills in communities to enable community members to create relevant digital content. As its first activity, the project worked with the residents of Payatas – a poor community in Quezon City, to help address their health information needs.This case study assessed the situation in the target community, the implementation strategy and the outcome of the project.
