To assist policy-makers and CLC managers in transforming the role of community learning centre (CLC), as a key platform to provide vital knowledge and essential skills to marginalized learners, this booklet lays the foundation of the CLC frameworks and addresses the key areas for transforming CLCs. Taking into account successful examples and experiences from different countries in the Asia-Pacific, multiple aspects of the cross-cutting elements in the functions of the CLC -- including the effective use of ICT, recognition, validation and accreditation, migration, sustainability, financing strategies, inter-sectoral approaches and decentralization -- were specifically discussed.
