IATP trainee Andrei Borshevski launched a website for the NGO Equality in April 2009. Equality, located in Comrat, Moldova, seeks to defend women’s legal rights, particularly those of young women, promote greater female representation in government, increase women’s access to education, and combat female human trafficking. Borshevski learned about IATP in 2000 from his friends. Together, they attended IATP training sessions for over three years. Although he had no prior ICT experience before visiting IATP, his work in Web design and Adobe Photoshop helped him become a capable website creator.
Despite their attempts to meet the many needs of local women, Equality staff had difficulty publicizing specific services to target groups in a clear manner. They knew the internet could help them reach these groups, but their original website had problems with unwanted commercial advertising, pop-up windows, and reliability. With Equality’s new, easy-to-use website, however, individuals and groups can find relevant information pertaining to their issues and concerns. They can also contact Equality’s staff and board of directors, whether seeking direct help or partnership opportunities. Borshevski’s IATP-taught skills thus opened up new avenues of communication among the NGO’s clients and partners. Borshevski noted, “As a volunteer at this NGO, I had the chance to develop this site, but it would have been impossible without all the skills and knowledge that I obtained during the courses I took at IATP. When I first came to IATP, I didn’t know anything about working with the computer.”
Borshevski one of several Moldovan citizens who have developed new technical skills and created locally-focused online resources with IATP’s assistance. Today, the IATP server in Moldova hosts 118 websites. Nine of these were created during the last three months.
ICT is the bedrock of all communications amongst NGOs and countries... I haven't heard about donations or assistance to those badly in need of ICT and other communication equipment in Africa in a while...
