Welcome to the Ungana-Afrika "Incubation of ICT Capacity Building Programs" Workshop Resource CD. This online version of the CD contains resources for workshop participants, and anyone interested in the development of eRiding ICT support concepts and programs.

About the Workshop and These Resources

Many non-profits and non-profit networks in Southern Africa are beginning to recognize the value of information and communication technologies (ICTs), but lack the funding and resources necessary to harness the opportunities they offer. As a result, Ungana-Afrika is helping to incubate and implement ICT capacity-building structures that harness and mobilize community skills and resources. As part of this effort, Ungana-Afrika, with the support of OSISA, hosted a series of workshops in Southern Africa that introduced non-profit leaders to new support concepts and materials they can use to launch their own sector or network-focused ICT capacity building programs.  The workshop focused on the internationally proven eRiding model of non-profit support and capacity building. With this model, training, planning and support efforts can be efficiently mobilized over a group of organisations, and within a wide variety of development contexts. Workshop topics were targeted at groups of development organisations that share a common sector focus, geographical scope, or managing/funding body within the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC).
