The UNESCAP Telecentre Online Database offers free access to information on telecentre projects in Asia-Pacific region. All information can be accessed either by: 1) open text searches; 2) advanced searches based on specific criteria; or 3) browsing a specific country or a selected telecentre project. The online database also provides statistical data related to telecentre projects in the region, including number of telecentres per country, per geographic area, and per telecentre project.

The Telecentre Online Database is a result of the United Nations Development Account project entitled “Knowledge networks through ICT access points for disadvantaged communities”, which is being implemented jointly by the five United Nations Regional Commissions. The project aims to empower the poor and disadvantaged communities, women in particular, through transforming selected existing ICT access points into knowledge hubs of global knowledge network to provide, develop, organize, share and disseminate knowledge pertinent to these communities.
