Context
The rural population of Hungary is a disadvantaged group with less access to information, services and support; the further people live from cities, the less education and higher unemployment they typically face. Telecentres are usually the information hubs of the smallest settlements, where local people can turn for help.
Objectives
The programme aims to build a network of information-service-provider Telecentres in disadvantaged rural areas that use ICT to support people and improve their opportunities in life.
Activities
A group of people is trained to provide, through ICT, the range of rural development services most needed by rural dwellers, with Telecentres, local authorities and private companies as stakeholders.
Results
The target group gained new skills and motivation, increasing their capability to reach out to and help Telecentre visitors. The programme, running since 2006, had reached 20 people as recorded in the source data.
