- Computer Literacy
Project (CLP)
The aim of this is to promote
the achievement of universal computer literacy in the country. To this
end, it provides free computer training to a variety of groups,
especially those that are not in a position to acquire these skills
either through public institutions or from private institutions.
- Community Access Network
(CAN)
The main focus
of this is to provide access to information resources as well as
channels of communication to open up government and development
processes to the citizens. Its essence is to promote community
participation in the development and political processes. CITAD hopes to
promote good governance and democracy using this programme by utilizing
the networking capacity of ICTs.
- Schoolnet
Project
Achieving universal computer literacy
must begin with the teachers. This is why CITAD has this programme that
is directed at both school teachers and students to provide them with
non-commercial and non-profit opportunities to acquire IT skills and
connectivity. The Schoolnet Project, which is part of the Nigerian
Schoolnet movement, would try to connect schools online and thus have
them access online educational resources.

(IT-RAP)
The objective of this is to promote
local research and development in ICTs as well as identify best
practices for the deployment of ICTs in development processes. It hopes
to be a technology acquisition and dispersal centre, and serve
entrepreneurs with the lasted skill and know-how in the sector.
