b) Creating local content, recording and distributing it benefits from a specific set of skills and tools.
Governments, especially ministries of education, should evaluate the level of multiple skills, such as ICT skills, knowledge and attitudes which would lead to the critical mass of competences existing at local level and take appropriate measures to create an enabling learning environment. Key steps include improving basic literacy (e.g. drafting, language, etc.), critical thinking ability, as well as media, information and digital literacy skills. Policy steps to improve ICT, digital, media and information literacy should include both the formal educational system and lifelong learning. Targeted programmes aimed at certain segments of the youth and adult population can also teach necessary skills to members in a community who can then help others create, record and disseminate local content.
