Benin: multimedia and multipurpose

摘要

Among the cashew, neem and teak trees, several people gather together on a Sunday morning in front of a dozen computers to follow the instructions of the teacher, Waiedou Kare. We are at the Community Multimedia Centre (CMC) in Banikoara, 700 kilometres from Cotonou (Benin). Created at the initiative of UNESCO, the Banikoara CMC combines a local radio station, Radio Bani Gans, with a community telecentre, fully equipped with computers connected to the internet, printers, telephones and photocopying machines. It is the only computer-training centre in the region.
