Hi Peter, On the DOT-COM Alliance site, you will find a recent assessment report for the Community Learning and Information Centers (CLICs) in Mali. This is a USAID-funded project implemented by dot-ORG which includes 13 CLICs. The report includes some interesting data about demand in the shape of the revenue share of specific services. The report does look at the issue from the point of view of the access providers and in the context of the access providers' efforts to supply services that are in demand and that can help them become sustainable. I hope it helps in some way!
