What are some of the difficulties faced when measuring telecentre impact
in a community?
Measuring the impact of telecentres on individuals, organisations and on
the community collectively is a key objective for most evaluation studies.
They relate to some of the most important research questions for many
stakeholders, within the community, at the national programme level and
for international donors. For instance, is the telecentre a positive force
for community development? Does it benefit some people more than others?
Does it act as a catalyst for other positive initiatives and innovations
at the local level? Does it help people to help themselves? These
questions convey the assumptions and visions of the promoters and funders
of telecentre programmes.
