A meeting titled ICT-based Livelihood Content for Rural Community: Which Way should it go? has been held on March 28, 2007 at D.Net Conference Room. It was basically about sharing experiences between domain experts and the team at D.Net responsible for developing the legal and human rights content. The participants gave their comments on the existing content and their views about how to enhance its quality so that this particular content is able to better meet the needs of the rural community and other people accessing for it. The suggestions they have provided will be a valuable resource for further development of the legal and human rights content.
