- Multipurpose Community Telecenter (MCT) Project
The Ministry of Communication, Science and Technology in the Maldives is in the process of establishing community based telecentres in every inhabited island to help bridge the digital divide, to facilitate e-government, empowering the islanders to take the opportunities available through ICT connectivity. The MCT concept involves the creation of telecentres in a community based location, where a variety of ICT services such as telephones, fax, voice mail, Internet (including e-mail) TV and radio for information and recreation will be provided. The IT Policy formulation project has also components to formulate business models to ensure the sustainability of the Telecenters, along with digitising hands-on, instructive documents as an initial information package. More comprehensive content development is envisaged as a follow-on project.
