Africa-Press – Namibia. THE regional office of the Ministry of Information and Communication Technology in Kavango East this week extended its basic computer training to community library staff.
The week-long training, which started on Monday, is aimed at capacitating librarians with computer skills to enable them to introduce similar programmes at community libraries in the region.
The ministry’s Kavango East regional office introduced the free basic computer programme in 2020 to empower unemployed youth with essential computer literacy skills.
Information officer in the ministry Cecilia Iyambo told The Namibian that the initiative is in line with the ministry’s strategic plan to accelerate information and communication technology (ICT) development, for an inclusive ICT-smart Namibia.
She said since the inception of the programme in 2020, the office has trained over 300 students and the number is expected to increase as more efforts are being invested in the programme.
