Introductions

Journalist and vice-president of the NGO FRANCONET. We think that with the coming of the New Technologies of information and Communication (NICT) THE countries of the south can catch up the train of development by the awareness raising of youth on the impact of the NICT and through broadcasting (Radio Femmes Solidarité, a station in which I host a show dedicated to the Internet, on the 105.6 of the FM strip) The multiplication of access points to Internet in countries of the South is the key of the participation of youth in the process of development of countries of the South. It is why we install access points to Internet in places where youth is the future of our States. After the one installed at the "CCF du Plateau", we installed a second in Yopougon, the biggest township of Ivory Coast, place of residence of the resourceless population. May 24, 2000 we will install another point in Bouake, a city placed in the center of the Ivory Coast. We think that with such initiatives the real needy will be able to participate in the future of the nations of the South.
