Introduction

 

This report covers the activities of the Centre for Information Technology and Development (CITAD) during the year 2004. The report has to be read within the context of the prevailing climate both locally and internationally during the year.

 

The first leg of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) held in December 2003 with a commitment to convene the second leg in 2005. This means that 2004 provided the occasion for both reporting back on the first leg and preparation for the second leg of the WSIS. This opportunity has helped to generate a series of activities nationally, which have contributed in the raising of awareness about ICTs.

 

Locally in our base, in March the State Government set up an ICT Policy Drafting Committee to articulate an ICT policy for the state. CITAD was represented on the Committee by its Executive Director. The Committee submitted its report in August, and although the government had up to the end of the year yet to start implementing the policy, the activities of the Committee have helped to raise awareness on ICTs in the state as well as in building local partnerships involving CITAD and others in advancing the cause of ICTs in the state.

 

As with the previous year, CITAD’s efforts in the year 2004 were driven by the spirit of volunteerism, which has seen its members rendering selfless services to the organization and to the public at large. No doubt the modest achievements recorded in the period were made possible by the commitment of both its members and staff

 

COMPUTER LITERACY PROJECT

Computer Training Scholarship Scheme for Youth

This is a partnership programme between CITAD and a number of Computer Training Institutes and companies in Kano in which CITAD sends youth for training in various aspects of Information Technology free of charge. For this year 70 youths have benefited as follows:

Mediwat Computer Professional Institute:               9

Intersystem Computer School                                15

Hands on Institute of Information Technology:       46

 

The number is less than last year partly because we ended the partnership with the fourth training school and also because the economic situation has made some of the partners to reduce the number of spaces available for the scheme.

 

In-House Training

In order to meet the growing demand for ICT training, CITAD decided to expand its training programme at the centre. A number of training programmes were developed including Certificate in Information Technology (CIT), Diploma in Information Technology  (DIT), Certificate in Website Design, Diploma in ICT Entrepreneurship (DITE), Certificate in Computer Repairs and Maintenance and Diploma in Arabic Language (DIAL). The first two programmes (CIT and DIT) have already been offered during the year. Three rounds (with a total of 162) have graduated from the CIT programme (see appendix 2) while the first set of DIT trainees will complete their programme in March 2005. The other programmes will hopefully commence early in 2005.

 

During the year CITAD also trained 10 staff of the Federal College of Education (FCE), Kano under the CIT programme.

 

Mobile Training

CITAD recognizes that computer training facilities are mostly located in state capitals. This means that youth living outside the state capital are disadvantaged in terms of getting access to computer training. To overcome this problem, CITAD introduced the Mobile Training Programme. This is a one-month training in which CITAD sends a team of trainers along with computers for the period of the training to the site. During year, 22 youths have been trained under the scheme at Hadejia in Jigawa State (see Appendix 3 for list of beneficiaries).

 

Capacity Building for Other Organizations

A number of organizations are also starting computer training as part of their youth empowerment programmes. They face shortage of trainers. CITAD now provides capacity building programme in terms of training of trainers for the organizations so that those trained by CITAD can go back to their organizations and mount training programmes for youths. Beneficiaries of training of trainers include:

1.     Women Health and Development Network (WHDNET)

2.     Women Farmers Advancement Network (WOFAN)

3.     Hausa Writers Association (HAWAN)

4.     Centre for Human Rights in Islam, Kano

5.     Kano Chambers of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (KACCIMA)

6.     Kano State Library Board

7.     School of the Disabled, Tudun Maliki

8.     Adeaola Comprehensive School, Kofar Kabuga

 

Internet Training (with British Council)

During the year, the following organizations have benefited for the joint CITAD/British Council Internet training programme:

*       Sahawa Youth Association

*       Ministry of Justice, Kano Sate

*       Ministry of Commerce,

*       Ministry of Health

*       National Institute of Tourism and Hospitality, Bagauda

*       Women and Youth Support (WAYS)

*       Mass Communication Students Association, Bayero University, Kano

*       Ministry of Information

*       History and Culture Bureau, Kano

 

Training for Teachers

During the year, CITAD continued to pay attention to the ICT skills needs of schools through its training for teachers of secondary schools. Although the SchoolNet Programme to be operationalised through the five Digi Centres donated by the Education Tax Fund (ETF) and which the beneficiaries schools appointed CITAD as capacity building partner could not take off due power and bandwidth payment problems, a number of teachers were trained during the year.

 

AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

Career Talk

The Career Talk for Secondary school students has continued to be a major source of raising awareness of both teachers and students about ICT issues. It also been a soft advocacy tool for CITAD as principals have usually after the talk in their schools taken up the need to ensure that they have computers in their schools.

 

This year seven schools benefited from the programme. These were:

*       Government Secondary School, Sharada

*       Government Commercial Secondary School, Airport Road

*       Government Secondary School, Kawaji

*       Government Secondary School, K/Nasarawa

*       Government Girls Secondary School, Maikwatashi

*       Government Gils Secondary School, Dakata

*       Government Secondary School, Mariri, Dawakin Kudu Local Government

ENGAGING WITH ICT POLICY AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS

eNigeria

CITAD took part in the National Preparatory Conference held in July 2003 to articulate Nigeria’s input to the first leg of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS).  Against this background, early in the year, CITAD wrote an editorial in the January Edition of its newsletter, News on ICTs in Nigeria, calling on the National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) to organize a report back conference. The editorial was reproduced in some national dailies.

 

In response to the editorial, NITDA wrote a rejoinder, which was published in the subsequent edition of our newsletter in which it informed the public that it had in fact fixed date for the eNigeria Conference at which the outcomes of the WSIS were to be discussed. Noting the high registration fee for the conference, CITAD led a protest, resulting in its being reduced by half for civil society and youth organizations. CITAD attended the conference, which took place between 24-26, at the ECOWAS Secretariat, Abuja.

 

.ng Stakeholders Process

In April, the dispute over who was to manage Nigeria’s top level domain (.ngTLD) was ended by President Olusegun Obasanjo with a directive that the National Information Technology Agency (NITDA) should facilitate through wide consultation the establishment of a non-governmental organization to take over the management of the .ngTLD. Consequently, in May NITDA published a call for memorandum, requesting all stakeholders to submit memo on how the non-governmental organization was to be constituted.

 

CITAD’s memo was one of the six received by the close of the deadline for the submission of memo.  On August 9, CITAD attended the Stakeholders’ Forum convened by NITDA to deliberate on the submissions and agree on modalities for the establishment of the agency to manage the .ngTLD. CITAD presented its position paper at the Forum. Since then it has remained active in the efforts to move the process forward.

 

The Kano State ICT Policy

In March the Governor of Kano State inaugurated an ICT Policy Drafting Committee to articulate an ICT Policy for the State. CITAD was represented on the Committee by its Executive Director.

 

CITAD made input to the work of the committee both directly through its representative and indirectly through its network with other civil society organizations that made input to the Committee such as the Kano State Branch of the Information Technology Association of Nigerian (ITAN).

 

The Committee submitted its report in August and in November the State Government set up an Implementation Committee. CITAD will continue to give support to the implementation of the policy as well as undertake critical assessment of the implementation with a view of ensure better result.

 

eNorth

Immediately after attending the eNigeria Conference, members of the Kano State ICT Policy Drafting Committee mooted the idea of organizing an ICTs forum to boost ICT policy initiatives in the north. This idea become even more pronounced and urgent after attending the .ngTLD Stakeholder Forum at which the Committee not only presented the position of the Kano State on the matter but the Chairman of the Committee was elected to represent the Northern States on the Committee of 22 set up to study various submissions to the Stakeholders for further presentation at the next All Stakeholders Assembly on the management of the .ngTLD.

 

Simultaneous with this were two other ideas, one from the Northern Education Research Project (NERP) of the Arewa House, ABU and the other from the Science and Technology Forum with similar objectives. Eventually the three initiatives were harmonized into one, which was to convene a consultative meeting of Commissioners of Education and other Stakeholders from the 19 Northern States to strategize on ICT Policy, especially in relation to the Education Sector. The meeting was to b organized under the general direction of the Northern Education Research Project (NERP) and hosted by the Kano State Government. CITAD as part of the eNorth Initiative was on the Organizing Committee of the Meeting

 

The Meeting held on 21 an 22nd December 2004 at Mambayya House, Bayero University, Kano. CITAD in addition to serving in the Organizing Committee made a presentation on the Contributions of NGOS and Development Partners in Promoting Computer Literacy. CITAD will continue to push the process forward to ensure the improvement and adoption by the State Governor of the ICT Policy Strategy Document adopted at the meeting.

  

National Audit of Skills and Competences

In August, the Industrial Training Fund (ITF) in collaboration with the Nigerian Employers Consultative Association (NECA) advertised a notice calling for memoranda on their joint project on National Audit of Skills and Competencies in the Nigerian Economy. CITAD responded to the notice by submitting a memo.

 

Subsequently, the two organizations invited CITAD to a meeting in Lagos held on 30th September to further discuss the project and fine-tune the instrument for conducting the survey. CITAD attended and participated actively in the meeting. CITAD was also invited and attended the implementation meeting for the Northwest zone and is expected to submit a paper on ICT skills benchmarking and mapping for the project.

 

CAPACITY BUILDING

Training of Trainers

In January seven members of the organization attended a three-week training of IT Trainers programme organized jointly by PADEP and Happy Computers (UK). Held at Funtua, Katsina State the objective of the training was to impart on the participants training skills so that they could become more effective in delivering training.

 

Strategic Planning

In October, the organization conduced a four-day Strategy Planning Workshop. The workshop allowed staff and volunteer members of the organization to assess the past operation and performance of the organization. It identified the strengths and weaknesses of the organization and sought how to overcome these weaknesses while building on the areas of strength of the organization. At the end of the workshop a Strategic Document for the year 2005 was drawn.

 

In-House Training of Trainers

In September and October, CITAD organized an In-House Training of Trainers on packages that were not covered in the Funtua training. These were CorelDraw and Publisher. Four staff of the organization undertook the training. CITAD also organized a six-month in-house training on computer repairs and maintenance for three of its volunteers who are to take charge of the Computer Refurbishing Centre.

 

More Volunteers

In line with its key principle of volunteer work, the organization has been able to get a number of regular volunteers especially helping with the training programmes. Most of them were beneficiaries of CITAD’s own training programmes.

 

 

More staff

In order to cope with the increasing volume of work, three additional trainers were recruited during the year. They now handle the training activities of the organization along with several volunteers.

 

Training space and facilities

In conjunction with PADEAP, a building adjacent to CITAD main office was acquired to serve as the nucleus of the proposed Computer Refurbishing Centre. The building now houses the Training Centre and Workshop of CITAD. The organization was also able to acquired more computers to add to its stocking to meet its expanded scale of training programmes

 

Workshop on Proposal Writing

As part of building the capacity of its staff and that of sister NGOs and CBOs, CITAD organized a two-day in house workshop on proposal and report writing. The workshop which held on the 7th and 8th May 2004 at the Refurbishing Centre of CITAD was attended by three staff of CITAD and six others from other NGOs and CBOs. Participants were given training on proposal writing skills, project budgeting and project reporting.

 

Formation of the NYSC-VITE

The attempt by CITAD to have a large pool of IT training volunteers through the establishment of the Volunteers in IT Education (VITE) received a major boost with the formation of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), NYSC-VITE in Kano. The NYSC-VITE which is put up as a partnership between CITAD and the NYSC works with the Office of the Advisor to the Governor on Education and Information Technology to ensure that schools have volunteer IT teachers. While NYSC provides the facilitators from amongst serving corps members, CITAD provides them with training materials and logistics to move around. The group is presently being coordinated by Mr. Salvation C. Alibor (KN/04/A/240). For more information, contact Mr. Alibor at salvyalibor@yahoo.com"

 

The first set of the NYSC-VITE members was formally inducted into the scheme on Wednesday 27th 2004 at a ceremony held at the Conference Hall of the Office of the Special Adviser to the Kano State Governor on Education and Information Technology, 32 corps members serving in Kano State volunteered to place their IT skills and knowledge on notice for those needing these as part of their personal and group community development project.

*       Knet: CITAD still plays an active role in the Kano NGO Network. It still runs the discussion list of the group.

*       Computer Aid International: for over three years, CITAD has communicated with Computer Aid International over its Refurbished computer donation scheme. Early in the early, the new Africa Programme Officer wrote to CITAD outlining the new initiatives of the organization. CITAD agreed to partner with the organization in an attempt to source computers for CBOs and NGOs in the northern part of the country. In line with this, Ms Caroline Fuseau, Head of the African Programme of the Computer Aid International visited CITAD in Kano, from the 15th to 18th July 2004. During the visit, the two organizations agreed on the need to set up a distribution point for refurbished computers meant for distribution to organizations and schools in northern Nigeria.

 

 

PUBLICATION

*       The Newsletter

The monthly online newsletter of CITAD, News on ICTs in Nigeria (NIN) has continued to serve as a source of information for youths and others in the areas of training opportunities, funding for organizations, conferences, and general information about ICT development locally and globally. Already a number of organizations, such as the United Nation Task Force on ICTs and the Association for Progressive Communication (APC) re-circulate the newsletter on their own mailing lists giving it much wider global circulation. It has never fail to appear since it started publishing more than three years ago.

 

*       Job Seekers’ Information Services (JOSIS)

The Job Seekers’ Information Services (JOSIS) is a scheme by CITAD to assist youth looking for employment opportunities by bringing information about job opportunities to them.

 

The scheme operates in three ways:

1.     There is a weekly JOSIS Bulletin placed on the Notice Board of CITAD and copies could be obtained from the office. The bulletin gives a list of jobs openings and their details.

2.     There is an online alert (Josis Online), which is sent to subscribers of new job opportunities. Interested people could submit their email addresses to the Coordinator, JOSIS.
