28 - 31 March, 2007, NGO Training Course. Driving Information and Communications Technology and Leadership Training for Development
I. AYF Agenda 2004 - 2007
This programme aims to mobilise the disadvantaged youth of Africa, especially the unemployed graduates, to undertake projects which will enable them obtain skills necessary for their future livelihoods. Experiences of the young people should be improved through education to effect positive leadership and social changes.
The ICT courses will cover a duration of one year, and the Leadership programme will be a duration of three years, when a full evaluation of its impacts will be undertaken. It will ultimately be implemented in three projects centres in Ghana, Kenya and Uganda. These project centres will document systematically the peculiar problems and progress of the participants and this report will be used in policy discussion processes. This will aim at ensuring that future policies with regards to IT affecting Youth, are made and implemented in a manner that will conduce to the balanced development of young people generally devoid of undue strain. The Internet on one side will be used to facilitate this dialogue, the students will gain early experience with computers and electronic communication, while continuing to develop literacy and leadership skills that are so important to their future success
