Description:
Creating Local Connections West Africa (CLC WA) aims to realize the potential of youth and engage them as development actors in the improvement of their communities, countries, and region. CLC WA will achieve this through peer-led trainings, networking, national youth meetings, media creation, award processes, research and development of strategic use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) during its implementation in: Sierra Leone, Nigeria, Guinea, Cote d’Ivoire, and Liberia. The project’s activities will run over a 12 months period (March 2007 – March 2008).
Youth in West Africa present a demographically powerful and, simultaneously, vulnerable group. They are more likely than any other to be victims of violence, infected with HIV, and without a sustainable livelihood. CLC West Africa will scope, coordinate, support and enhance existing local level efforts of youth within the region to deal with common challenges. These common challenges the project will focus on include emergence from conflict, advancement of democracy, economic empowerment, reducing stigma and raising awareness about HIV/AIDS. Thus, the ultimate project objective focuses on increased levels of issue awareness, leadership and entrepreneurship skill development, gender equality, information and communication technologies, economic accessibility, geographic accessibility and engagement and empowerment of the West African youth community.
