Facilitating the interaction between citizens and local governments through information and communication technology (FACIL-ICT)

Abstract

FACIL-ICT is a Pilot project in Nsawam/Adoagyiri and Suhum municipalities in the Eastern region of Ghana. The project seeks to discover new possibilities for effectively improving communication between the people in rural communities and local government structures in the Municipalities through Information Communication Technology (ICT). It intends to build on current structures and practices to develop a two-way communication system between local government structures and the people in dispersed rural communities within the municipalities to provide information on health and social welfare service delivery.
