Expanding Access to Useful Content
Less than 10 per cent of Bulgarians speak English, and the availability of Bulgarian language material on the Internet is limited. Therefore, the amount of useful information resources for PC3 clients is constrained. To address this problem, the program includes a component to help local and national organizations convert already developed information resources, broadly relevant to the economic and social development of small communities, into Bulgarian language computer-based and Internet accessible formats. These resources may include training courses, reports, databases, and other materials appropriate for multimedia and Internet distribution in PC3 locations. Over the life of the project, PC3 staff will work closely with USAID partners and other Bulgarian organizations to identify, enhance, and "digitize" these materials.
