The SADC Communication Centre has produced the innovative computer software for the Communication Services Directory and Database on Computer. This will be the first publication of its kind which lists people and organisations who provide communication services in the development field. Collaborative ventures to produce this Directory and Database in each SADC country are welcome. The SADC Communication Centre started a Library of Communication for Development covering publications, periodicals and articles relevant to the subject. The SADC Communication Centre is putting into place a service to Document in Video, Photographs and Print the impact of communication activities for clients.
Many materials are already available.
