C4C Initiative: Improving teaching and Learning with ICT in Nkwanta District

This Video showcase the current situation at the various Schools as part of the C4C Education Programme in Ghana. The objective is to improve teaching
and learning in the Nkwanta District (volta Region, Ghana) through ICT in three Basic & Junior High Schools, by Wadep a local NGO with support from Connect4Change (IICD, Edukans)

The Women and Development Project WADEP) is located in the northern part
of the Volta Region since 1995. This initiative came as a result of the abject poverty
which was analyzed as multidimensional, gendered, dynamic, complex and specific
as a result of the location of the district. Women bear the brunt of this as result of culture.
They work longer hours and days and had limited access to income earning
opportunities yet are responsible for meeting the needs of the household.
