>COMMUNICATION RIGHTS ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
>
>A major publication of the CRIS campaign's CRAFT
>Project (Communication Rights Assessment
>Framework and Toolkit), originally known as the
>Global Governance Project, is now available for
>download. The project was funded by the Ford Foundation.
>
>The Communication Rights Handbook, coordinated
>by Sean O'Siochru of the CRIS Campaign, will be
>officially launched during the second phase of
>the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in November.
>
>The project's aim was to develop a framework and
>toolkit to support the emergence at national
>level of the concept of "communication rights",
>relating to local needs and dynamics but influenced by global processes.
>In each of four countries (Brazil, Colombia,
>Kenya and Philippines) and one region (European
>Union) the Framework has been applied in a
>participatory research process, and validated by workshops.
