| The School Connectivity Program (SCP) is the continuation of the CIAC (Computer and Internet Access Centers) project that has been running by ADCOME since 1999, when the organization was founded. The project is realized by providing secondary and high schools with computer labs. Each of the multimedia centers has 25 Computers connected to the Internet through a VSAT satellite. This Program also helps to employ recent unemployed graduates who facilitate the center and provide training.
The main goal of this program is to introduce computer knowledge to the secondary and high school students. The SCP and earlier the CIAC project come as an answer to lack of information, exchange and interaction amongst students. As far as ADCOME is concerned, linking school with ICTs is its priority, as well as training the students to become computer literates. ADCOME´s legacy is then to help the students in the use of Internet for research, for communication with peers, for exchange of ideas all over the world; in brief, the centers aim at sharing knowledge through the improvement of the level of education, thus, the level of development in our communities.
Until 2005, ADCOME has been running the project alone. Later this year we formed a partnership with the MTN Foundation of Cameroon. With their financial support, we are able to fill schools´ labs with computers. We also cooperate with MTN Network Solutions for technical support of the centers, and IAI Cameroon (Institute for African Computer Sciences), which trains facilitators who are in charge of the daily management of these specific centers. The project is aimed at providing young children in schools with more than just computer literacy skills. The SCP (and previously CIAC project) is designed to improve the status of education in Cameroon, to provide employment to recent graduates and to reduce poverty through ICTs.
To date ADCOME has successfully established the project in 20 schools, reaching over 50,000 students. We are planning to install 50 computer labs in schools throughout Cameroon within the next three years. Therefore, we would like to invite interested schools to become part of this initiative.
