Progress report on the ATRCW communication network project : consideration of strategies for improving the flow of information on gender issues in Africa

Abstract

The overall developmental objective of the project is to improve the work relevance, effectiveness and impact of the ATRCW through better communications and increased information dissemination. As such, the project will help enhance the ATRCW's role as a disseminator, serving as a resource centre, distributing data and information and promoting the exchange of experiences in the field. In concrete terms, the project will serve as a mechanism for: i) Strengthening the ATRCW's information and communication structures to ensure the inclusion of development support communication (DSC) strategies in all of the Centre's programmes and projects; ii) Disseminating the data and information generated by ATRCW which will be packaged into usable formats and targeted to a variety of users; and iii) Publicizing the work of the Centre and improving the clearing-house and coordinating functions of the Centre.
