 Challenges
 Needs

2
Governments worldwide have recognized the role that Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs) could play in socioeconomic development
Countries especially those in the developed world and some in
developing countries are putting in place policies and plans
designed to transform their economies into an information and
knowledge economy.
The convergence of technologies including telecommunications,
information technology and digital media has created
opportunities for citizens in the African continent to take
advantage of these technologies to meet the needs of the people
in the area of mobile money, print media and automation of
processes for decision making.
3
Global Trends
Youth are adapting and using these technologies (including telephone,
fax, radio, television, film, computers and the Internet) to meet local
information and communication needs.

In the global information society, young people are often the leading
innovators in the use and spread of information and communication
technologies (ICTs).

ITU 2011 statistics show that 45% of the world’s Internet users are
below the age of 25.in developing countries, 30% of this age group use
the internet compared to 23% of those above the age of 25.

BPO ICT: Konza Techno City

The Challenge
Young people are often limited from full participation by notions
that their time will come. Final Report and
Recommendations to the Global Knowledge Partnership
(March,2000).
Young people remain an untapped resource in decision-making
No integration of their knowledge, vision and experience

Every technological invention creates two new categories of
poverty: Those who can't (lack of ABILITY) use it and those who
won't (lack of INTEREST, KNOWLEDGE) use it.

15
