Ungana-Afrika is providing incubation
support to
help FDC, a community developement foundation, implement a sustainable
ICT capacity building and support project for a network of 10 HIV/AIDS
organisations in Maputo and Gaza provinces of Mozambique. At the start
of the project Ungana-Afrika and FDC conducted a preliminary assessment
of 12 organisation that are part of the FDC's HIV/AIDS program. The
study revealed that all organisations are currently struggling to
utilise even the most basic ICT tools and only two of the organisations
are able to sustain the skills, funds and infrastructure needed to make
use of basic computer reporting, data collection, and internet
communications. The outcomes of the study suggested a two year project
that is focusing at improving the capacity of the organisations to
adopt ICT and strategically integrate them into their operations. The
implementation phase started with eRider recruitment, training, and
more detailed project planning, and continued with a technology
planning process and training for the organisations. In 2008
Ungana-Afrika is looking at further sub-granting the incubated project
to provide ICT support services to Hivos grantees in Mozambique.
