03.00 THE PRESENT SITUATION IN THE PROJECT AREA
03.07 Information
and communication.
The means of communication in rural areas are scarce. Minimal telephone
services are available. Some people have mobile phone. Postal services are also
poor and centralized in the larger centres. Few ordinary people use these forms
of communication which tend to be limited to business, security, and leisure.
The telephone services are expensive. Land line charges are about € 0.65 per 3
minutes. The cheapest mobile handset is € 65.
Infrastructural development
with improved means of communication are perceived to be very important in the
project area. Even trading centres in the various sub-locations lack telephone
services.
