EnglishDescription
Telecentres- places where people can pay for the use of devices such as telephones, fax machines, and computers- are currently opening throughout Africa. They are seen as providing a much needed communications infrastructure to a continent poorly supplied by telecommunication facilities (Acacia 1997). Heather Schreiner outlines the obstacles to rural women gaining from this technology. This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.
