EIFL Public Library Innovation Programme (PLIP)
• Was launched to explore and demonstrate how ICT-enabled public libraries can address community information needs.
• Provided small grants to 39 public and community libraries in 23 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America to introduce innovative services in the areas of:
– health;
– agriculture;
– economic development;
– education; and
– reaching out to disadvantaged and vulnerable members of the community.

Our grants enabled libraries:
•To acquire technology;
•To build the capacity of librarians and community members to use technology;
•To buy up-to-date print and electronic resources;
•To create content in local languages of interest to the community; and
•To build partnerships with experts (health, agriculture, etc).
All these elements enabled libraries to develop innovative services that meet community needs.
