Dear ResearchGate Team,
I always face this problem of deciding how much information should be enough for an IEC that is specifically designed for rural communities. If I add less information and more graphics then it seems incomplete whereas adding more information and using fewer graphics make it boring and unattractive. Is there any solution to it? How can we share the complete information, and make it attractive and easy to understand? What are your opinions?
Thanks in advance!
Leena Chauhan Leena, I never know either. Usually, if time allows, I try to get to know the people, their needs and get a sense of their use of technology. My colleagues try to prepare an introduction that can be easily understood using pictures and short statements. They included is a more detailed version. These links discuss projects in rural locations and might offer other ideas….
