- How can information tools and networks best be utilized for decision-making about resource and investment allocation priorities between the central government/nation and local governments/municipalities?
- What role do or could different media have in strengthening local learning and development? Educational television, libraries & cultural centers, community radio, community cell phones & pagers, service centers, shared-access Internet/fax/telephone cabins...
