 Problem Analysis
In accessing youths’ educational need, it is obvious that Computer Education and Internet
Problem Analysis Facilities will be an added advantage to marginalized youths.

The project area in Umungasi, Aba Abia State is neglected, remote and natural disaster prone
area. Computer literacy, ICT training is very costly in this area and not available in the
community level, so the poor youths are not getting the opportunity to learn computer
literacy/ICT. Inah Mercy Nnenna has taken initiatives for those unemployed youths but has
not enough of financial resources for extending support to address the issues which are
important for the targeted youths. It is very obvious that knowledge of ICT is very essential
to get employment opportunities in the present digital world. We have communicated with
some job provider organizations (Banks, NGOs, Com. etc) but they informed they are looking
for those who have minimum skill on computer & Internet.

Project Goal:
By the end of the project, 50 disadvantaged unemployed youths will get employment

Project goal and objectives opportunities as skilled citizens through acquiring computer and Internet training and will
have access to ICT facility and they will also be empowered socially and economically.

skill training on computer/ICT and provide access to ICT facility in the community to
establish their social and economic empowerment.

Intended beneficiaries

Risks
Youth may not want to share ideas in open environment.

Risks and Mitigation actions Mitigation

Provide incentives for assisting with development of the ideas and
create environment where collaboration will enhance idea and not
detract from it

Through this project unemployed youths will be skilled on

computer/Internet, ICT.
 Sustainability is important and this project intend to use solar power
for sustenance, so grid electricity on an ongoing basis is not a factor
in this case, but it may be for numerous areas across the country.
Sustainability plan Additionally, support for and maintenance of the technology is part of
the contract/agreement with the local technicians. Such an agreement
will be the target of ICT deployments, and employing local
technicians will help the economy and make the support and
maintenance efforts more efficient. Ongoing funding for project
continuation is another consideration. We will continue to write more
applications for funds where necessary.
