African Youth Initiative

African Youth Initiative (AYI) is an African youth-led Information and Communication Technologies for Accelerated Development (ICT4AD) initiative to help bridge the digital divide in Africa, and to provide a sustainable livelihood for the people of the continent.

Aimed at fulfilling the desire to use Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to address the continent’s problems, while building on the abounding energy of young people, AYI has representation in ten (10) African countries and keeps expanding with the aim to have national coordinators in all Anglophone and Francophone African countries by July 2004. Among other involvements, AYI has already started pilot ICT4AD clubs in Ghana to demonstrate its commitment.

AYI was created to address the problem of duplicated and uncoordinated youth-led efforts in Africa by serving as a hub for youth-led initiatives - using ICTs as a veritable platform. AYI was founded by oneVillage Foundation - Ghana (OVF), Paradigm Initiative Nigeria (PIN), and Go-Online Africa (GOLA). AYI emerged as a response to the declaration coming out of the ITU Telecom Africa 2001 Youth Forum and the need to initiate, sustain and promote the involvement of young Africans in the World Summit on the Information Society processes.
