Information is power and vital tool in social and other forms of human development. SIDAREC’S community Media and ICT pillar aims at the grassroots level as well as utilization of existing traditional modes of communication as a way of reaching more people with devised developmental messages.

Similarly, the program aims at ensuring easier access of vital local, national and international information that is valuable to poor communities thus bridging the knowledge divide and enabling the poor to understand and participate in National and global human development issues.
