Background
Our member Organisation is making a major impact on the development of rural communities in India by helping to alleviate poverty and the lack of access to basic resources and providing information and services through rural IT kiosks. The use of information technology for fast and easy access to the rural market provides millions of villagers with access to competitive goods and services and eases the prohibitive costs of travelling to markets. The organisation is working with a large number of people – both in their headquarters in Delhi, and through the ‘entrepreneurs’ they have supported to set up the IT kiosks. They now need support to manage, develop and harness this human resource to enable the organisation to grow and maximise the impact they are making for rural communities.

By the end of the three month engagement, these kiosks will be operating in the village. The volunteer will be responsible for coordinating communication between the field and the head office and making sure progress is fluid.
The volunteer must be able to communicate the project to others, and have the management skills to make sure the parts come together.
