I am very interested in this activity. In Cameroon, as part of activties of association Presse Jeune, my organisation, we created an ICT program for youth with trainings, Internet club at school, lobbying, information, education and communication on ICT for youth, etc. We view ICT as an instrument for youth participation. This is the first time in the history that technologies are taught by children to parents. You can easily understand the importance of this in Africa where because of tradition, young people don't participate. But a good project on ICT for youth must take into consideration the need of equipments, trainings, etc. ICT must not be an isolated question because all youth problems are linked.
