IATP Partners with Civil Society Organizations to Improve Local Community Services

In April 2008 throughout Eurasia, IATP’s free IT courses and Internet enabled a wide variety of audiences throughout Eurasia to better carry out their functions. In Moldova, 30 finance officers underwent IATP training to improve the quality of their work and eight representatives from local administrations learned how to use specialized accounting software. Additionally, in Ukraine, a visually impaired IATP user developed a nine-month English language training course for 14 youth, and an architect successfully advocated for the preservation of historical sites using IT skills acquired through IATP training. Finally, representatives of a local NGO in Georgia raised over $8,000 in grants for a program to enhance disabled children’s education thanks to IATP training. By teaching ICT skills to local advocates and NGO officials, IATP is helping improve both the reach and the sustainability of the non-governmental sector across Eurasia. What follows is a detailed description of these IATP success stories:

Thirty finance officers of local administrations in four Moldovan districts of Volovita, Soroca, Sculeni, and Peresecina improved the quality and efficiency of their work due to newly obtained skills as a result of a training series co-sponsored by the IATP center in Chisinau and the NGO Center for Assistance to Public Authorities (CAAP). CAAP is a non-governmental think tank established in 2002 with the aim to help create a favorable environment for social and economic development in Moldova. In early February, CAAP Regional Coordinator Stella Jemna conducted training-of-trainers at the IATP Center in Chisinau to teach eight representatives of local administrations how to use a specialized accounting software product called "1C Book-Keeping." In April, four of these newly qualified trainers instructed their colleagues in applying this software to their daily work. Financial officers immediately began using the program, which helped them automatically record and process all financial transactions and increase the speed and accuracy of their work. Teaching government officials ICT skills allows them to provide greater services to their constituents and streamlines inefficient bureaucracy.

Fourteen young people will learn English during a nine-month special course for visually impaired people developed by active IATP user Larysa Sayevych in Donetsk, Ukraine. The President of the English Speaking Club and visually impaired herself, Sayevych managed to win a grant of $20,000 from the World Bank for her new project aimed at facilitating employment for disabled individuals. Due to IATP training Larysa acquired the necessary skills to teach her students English using ICT. According to the project proposal she has three months to develop teaching methods and to select two groups of students, and then nine months for to train the students. Larysa commented, “I am very happy that I can help people like me find a better job and not feel deserted and worthless for the society”.

Knowing how to use accounting software definitely helps a lot in any business. It depends on the version of the software. If it's a starter edition, it's good for small businesses. If it's an enterprise version, it's good for big companies. It's good that there are trainings for such software in those countries.
