Information Resources on Youth Development in Africa

Young people have an aptitude in developing, adopting and disseminating information and communication technology. This session will discuss best practices in terms of how ICT can be used both as a tool to promote youth as leaders in the ICT sector and to foster broader economic development involving youth. It is expected that the outcomes of this session will be to promote the objectives of the African Youth in ICT for Development Network (AYIN), an outreach initiative under the aegis of the Afican Information Society Initiative (AISI) as part a key stakeholder input into the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).

This portal is designed to serve as an entry point to articles, documents and links that deal with youth development in the African continent and the Diaspora. It also hosts a list of links of institutions and initiatives that focus on the youth in the region.
