mobiles for a change: the acdep story
DESCRIPTION
My name is Martine Koopman, Sector Developer Education, but also Country Manager of our Ghana Programme at the International Institute of Communication and Development or IICD. Today I will tell you the story of ACDEP and how the youths in Northern Ghana will have better access to sexual and reproductive health information via mobile phones . The story will illustrate the way we work: Needs based, building the capacity of our partner organisations to design, implement, sustain and innovate ICT-based solutions to accelerate their own programmes in health, education, agriculture or Water & Climate Change.TRANSCRIPT
