Mr Okowa (ABC programs Coordinator)
a GKP Youth & ICT 2005 Award winner, being interviewed by
a journalist at the World Summit for the Information Society in
Tunis.
|
| It stems from a poll carried out
in 2002 to identify ten priority development issues that needed
to be addressed among young people in the region. HIV/AIDS emerged
top on the list followed by Poverty. ABC was then registered with
a goal of sensitizing the community about the un tapped opportunities
in the region as well as encourage them to Advocate for their Rightful
place in the Local and Central government in terms of service delivery.The
other important goal was improving the Sexual Reproductive Health
(SRH) of vulnerable people in the region by bringing about a lasting
positive change in their attitudes and behavior and those of the
communities in which they live. This was followed by a baseline
survey, which ABC did in three districts of Nyando, Kisumu and Bondo.
