The Community Telecentre Cookbook for Africa: Recipes for Self-Sustainability - How to Establish a Multi-Purpose Community Telecentre in Africa
Overview "Multi-purpose" means that a Telecentre is able to provide a variety of services to different user groups within a community: for example, services relating to education and training; information; health; culture; the economy; welfare; social issues; safety and many more. Telecentres can operate as businesses. Although they may start off with funding or a grant, and may rely to a large extent on volunteer support, the aim is always to generate sufficient income through the provision of services to become self-sustainable. To realise this aim MCTs need to be managed well and provide services for which there is a demand. Even MCTs which have a 'not-for-profit' legal identity need to be financially viable to be successful.
