Abstract
The Centre régional de développement et santé (CREDESA) of Benin coordinates, at the Ouidah community and district level, activities related to primary health care. These are aimed at reinforcing the population's ability to plan, implement, and follow directions in primary health care in a rural environment usually deprived of appropriate health services. After 10 years of activity, CREDESA still does not have a satisfactory information and documentation infrastructure. This project will develop an information and documentation centre to serve the population of Pahou, the rural district of Ouidah. Specifically, it will strengthen the centre's personnel through training; acquire multimedia holdings; develop a bibliographic data base; and produce and disseminate information.
