• Provision of flexible learning opportunities in new technology for women, young people and minority groups in particular.

• Development of training facilities in rural areas (fixed/mobile).

• Facilitation of distant learning (mainstream or tailored courses) through the use of new technologies. 

• Provision of relevant training courses to those wishing to add value to local products, in particular by facilitating access to markets for small production units via collective actions. 

• Developing the capacity of rural dwellers to utilise ICT including Internet and broadband to access e-services and other public/commercial electronic applications.
