Guidebook for Managing Telecentre Networks: Engineering a New Phase of the Telecentre Movement

telecentre.org , one of the major partners of the Philippine Community eCenter Network (PhilCeCNet), has initiated the development of a guidebook for managing telecentre networks. It is now available as a wikibook .

“A Guidebook for Managing Telecentre Networks: Engineering a New Phase of the Telecentre Movement” is actually a collaborative project of the telecentre.org community. In the course of its development, telecentre.org consulted network leaders from the different regions, soliciting input particularly in terms of experiences in setting up and effectively managing telecentre networks.

PhilCeCNet, through its Executive Secretary and Philippine CeC Program Head Maria Teresa Camba, took an active part and made an important contribution to the development of the guidebook specifically in Chapter 2: Telecentre Network Governance – Setting the Playing Field for a Network Culture. In this particular chapter, PhilCeCNet is used as a case study.

“...This guide represents the very best of what telecentre.org and the telecentre movement is all about: working together to share experiences and best practices with a view to making telecentres strong, better, more sustainable and more relevant to the people they serve”, shares Meddie Mayanja, telecentre.org Senior Program Officer.

The guidebook was edited by Meddie along with Manuel Acevedo, Silvia Caicedo and Claire Buré.
