Community Learning Information & Communication Project (CLIC) - India
Community Learning Information and Communication Project (CLIC) involves case studies of existing initiatives designed to tackle access to better infrastructure and services for poor people in India; both those started by government and by NGOs and communities themselves.
Communication Strategies
Through the CLIC case studies, the project examines ways through which low-income communities, government and NGOs learn, communicate, negotiate, and collect and utilise information.
Development Issues
Economic Development.
Key Points
The CLIC case studies provide in-depth insights into how learning, information and communication affects practical projects. The CLIC project is based on an overall hypothesis that learning, information and communication processes between stakeholders can either hamper or enhance poor people's access to secure and adequate infrastructure, housing and services. Improved understanding and facilitation of these processes would therefore improve delivery of, and access to, infrastructure, housing and services. This hypothesis is being tested through applying the CLIC model to a series of case studies and support activities taking place in urban areas in India.
