To overcome the problem of access to information by the rural community which is a major impediment to agrarian reform in Russia the data available electronically will also be distributed through traditional media. The main target audience for the RIN is extension agents who will then disseminate the information directly to rural communities throughout Russia. RIN strategy must include built-in flexibility in order to ensure responsiveness to the changing information needs of local partners. For three years FADR practices using electronic options for prompt distribution of materials to the regional centres, where the local agencies are taking responsibilities to disseminate materials to the grass-roots level. RIN need to focus on local groups, interested in information exchange.
Electronic conferences are truly democratic way of communication.
For this reason RIN need to develop translating and editing capacities to enable it to provide information in a ready to use form. Political instability will also influence many aspects of RIN activity. Most people are not concentrating on positive goals but are thinking in terms of security and survival. RIN will try to provide adequate and reliable information and technical support to local people in order that they feel they are not facing their problems alone.
