ICT empowering youths
The use of information communications technology empowers young people in different ways, especially that most young people, whether from rural or urban areas, now have access to the most basic form of technology like the internet on a mobile phone.
The use of technology affords young people an opportunity to be creative, adaptable and innovative; giving them a greater chance to benefit from its rapid growth.
For example, by using ICTs, young people are able to connect with each other to create awareness on issues that affect them like HIV and AIDS, poverty, sexual reproductive and health rights, governance, human rights and employment, to mention but a few. ICTs have the ability to improve their quality of life and that of their families.
