Socio-Economic impact of the Community Telecentre
Networks Association
2

• To assess the global socio-economic impact of
  Regional Telecentre Networks that belong to the
  Community Telecentre Network Association, taking
  into account their project activities and their
  impact in the territory.
• The objectives of this assessment were
• To have a global vision of the regional
  Telecentres Network Partial and aggregated.
• To identify and evaluate the most relevant
  actions.
• To know what are the main indicators in each
  Telecentre Network and how they have evolved, as
  well as which have been the major investment
  items.
• To link the usage and investment indicators with
  the social and economic impact nationwide.
• Quantitative and Qualitative Study

QUALITATIVE ANALISYS
11

• Each invested in a telecentre becomes 1.80 in
  terms of Gross Value Added for the territory.
  (The 172 M invested in the 11 networks have
  helped improve the potential economic growth an
  estimated 0.014 / year).
• Investment in Telecentres is equal to
• 95 km road (1 km. road 1.8 M)
• 4Km high-speed train
• Impact in employment 2.800 employments (78,82
  direct employment)

CONCLUSSIONS
12

• Telecentres are effective "accelerators" of
  territorial development because of the potential
  the offer to the citizens of the territories
  where they are located, facilitating the
  appropiation of ICT, and therefore boosting local
  economic growth based on endogenous resources.
• It is necessary to promote the use of the same
  measure indicators in all telecentre networks,
  both economic and activity indicators, so that we
  global, comparable and homogeneous data can be
  obtained
• Standardize a measurement model to analyze and
  review the impact in the territories.
• Establish monitoring mechanisms to identify good
  practice.
• Design procedures and technical instructions that
  may collect standardized data of activities.
• Assess overall performance strategies for
  Telecentre Networks to encourage the alignment of
  networks and joint working.
• Design Action Plans that can be incorporated in
  the territories.
• Design specific strategies for telecentre
  evolution from digital literacy to effective
  participation.
