C4C Training workshop Tamale

After a two day workshop on how the local C4C partners can best support their associated organizations to implement and sustain their own ICT-enabled development activities, we are going through a training on how to use the AKVO plat form to show case our project activities.
I am happy to have this opportunity to learn some thing about the support AKVO is giving to project partners to share and to learn from one another.
In particular, PEPS-C is happy to be a partner to this facility and will explore the full potential of the platform to its benefit.
It is hoped that through this project, the appropriate ways and means would be found to improve the information environment so that the Enterprises being supported by PEPS-C are able to respond more readily to market signals, and that teaching and learning will improve in the Four Vocational Schools that are also receiving support under the auspices of the ICT4D initiative.

ACDEP's Dev't Partners Visit Walewale & Langbensi

ACDEP's development partners from CORDAID, IICD and other important stakeholders from Dance for Life and Vodafone Foundation paid a working and learning visit to adolescents participating in ACDEP's ICT in health project under the C4C programme.

The visiting team was accompanied by the four Young Professionals from the World of Difference programme. From the side-lines of the interactions between the visiting team and the adolescents, some of the adolescents indicated that they were inspired by the visit and felt motivated by the presence of the team to take issues bothering on their future development seriously. A cross-section of the adolescents said they look forward to experience how technology will contribute to improve access to adolescent reproductive health information and services in their communities.
