The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) has announced that it will work with a Swiss government agency to set up 150 multimedia centres in marginalized communities in Africa, providing locals with access to information and communication technologies through the Internet. In a statement released at its headquarters in Paris, UNESCO said the community multimedia centres (CMCs), which will have radio, telephone and fax facilities, as well as computers, connected to the Internet, will be built in three countries: Mali, Mozambique and Senegal.
