one of the qualified countries. For some inexplicable reason although I
receive I can never post to [email protected] list, so I would appreciate
if someone would forward this there as well.

> “Giving Youth a Voice” – ICTs for rural youth livelihoods in ACP countries
>
> Will Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) change life in the
rural areas of countries in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP)?
Will they make village life more attractive for young people? Or are they
just not appropriate, too expensive, or not available at all?
> CTA, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation ACP-EU,
invites you to share your vision of an ICT-enabled future in the rural areas
of ACP countries.
> If you
>  are a national of an ACP country ,
>  are between 18 and 30 years old,
>  are a member of an organization active in rural youth development
issues,
>  have ideas on how ICTs can help to improve youth livelihoods in the
rural areas of your country,
> then participate in CTA’s writing contest. Tell us what you would like to
achieve to make life better in the villages of your country, especially for
young people, and how ICTs could help you to reach your goal.
