Networking for Success

Applications are now being accepted for W.TEC's Networking for Success programme.

The Networking for Success programme will teach women how to use Web 2.0 tools and other ICTs to effectively develop and advance their work. Participants will learn how to use technology to initiate and manage projects; as well as identify networking opportunities with other organisations.

Objectives:
Through the project:

Participants will develop skills in the use and management of Web 2.0 tools (blogs, wikis, podcasts) and other technologies in order to build capacity and efficiency into their organisation's work

Participants will learn how to work collaboratively with colleagues within and outside of their organisations using ICTs

Participants will learn how to identify and assess the appropriateness of various ICTs to different tasks

Participants and their organisations will become part of an online network of young Nigerian female community leaders and organisations whose work is strongly targeted at women. Through the network, they will support each other in their social activism by sharing information and lessons learnt from their projects with each other.

W.TEC will develop a web-based repository of valuable resources related to setting-up an NGO / social program, implementing and managing projects, sustaining the vision of the organisation, securing and maintaining funding and managing technology effectively to achieve the organisation's mission.
