Project Summary

The use of ICTs for development and the social changes triggered by associations and NGOs contribute to the reduction of poverty. The inclusion of specific needs of women in training programs linked to ICTs is essential.

The ICT training centers will offer training to young women active in associations/NGOs in Congo. The project is aimed at women living in both urban and rural areas.

In time, the project will help increase the number of qualified individuals able to use ICTs and thus increase the participation of young women in ICT projects, and generate jobs. The project also aims to promote volunteerism in the field of ICTs among young women. The centers will be opened in the ten departments of the Republic of Congo.
