A systemic approach to information management at the grassroots

Description:

This paper discusses a systemic approach to development information management at the grassroots. It proceeds by defining the term "systemic" and by re-deflning and/or reconceptualizing "grassroots" as a development concept. A systemic approach to information management at the grassroots must address not only rural areas but also urban peripheries. For effective grassroots information management, there must be a shift in focus from endusers to decision-makers. Horizontal communication channels must be harnessed to sensitize and activate all sectors of society for participatory decision-making at the grassroots.
