2. www.apc.orgAPC - UNESCO MMTK Project Vision “ A key resource that is lacking is a comprehensive, integrated series of training materials to be used by staff of community media and multimedia communication providers that progress from beginner to advanced levels, and that include resources on the fundamental principles and processes involved in communication for development. A complete suite of training materials would need to cover a range of skills, from content production, to broadcasting ethics, ICT maintenance, management and business planning, and technical skills in working with digital audio and video and integrating “old and new” technologies as well as organization and implementation of community outreach activities”.
