About e-Ace

The e-ACE project aims to:
  • improve the social, economic and environmental circumstances of a public housing estate in Collingwood;
  • strengthen the capacity and cohesiveness of the community and its networks and;
  • provide access to information technology for those usually excluded from its benefits, that will lead to increase the skills and educational opportunities of housing estate families.
It itakes a whole of community approach  to community building and economic development using new technologies as tools to provide equal access for all residents to local community and world-wide communications, alongside education, skills development, improved health and well-being, access to health and community services and employment opportunities.
 
The project focuses on the hundreds of households in the Fitzroy public housing estates.
 
It includes components such as:
  • development of intranet and appropriate communication management systems;
  • involvement, coordination and integration of government, service providers and businesses;
  • development, coordination and provision of training for residents;
  • provision of access to information technology for residents, including provision of appropriate computer hardware, software and user support
  • a community development model that enables the transition to resident involvement in the development of a social enterprise through training, support, systems development and business management;
  • evaluation of its outcomes; and
  • examination of the public-private partnership options.
e-ACE will:
  • strengthen and develop new partnerships and relationships between residents of the Collingwood Estate, community service providers, government at all levels and the business community
  • use a community-development approach that encourages and develops community understanding, ownership and ongoing management of the project
  • facilitate a community strength-based approach to the development of community responses to local issues, concerns and needs and
  • mentor and support the implementation of coordinated, ‘grass-roots’ approaches to the provision of services and facilities for residents so that they are empowered to control their own lives.

The e-ACE project is an initiative of Infoxchange Australia. For more information, please visit www.infoxchange.net.au
