A necessidade: Qual é o problema que você está tentando resolver?
The lack of youth friendly & non-judgemental information and life skills for teenagers across Nigeria, in Senegal and Moroco about HIV/aids prevention, sexual rights and sexual health information.
A majority of young people in sub Saharan Africa grow up ignorant of their sexuality, and gender rights due to obstacles presented by the local culture, traditions and religions, making accurate and non-judgmental information about sexuality unavailable to most.
As a result, millions of young people (especially girls) are sexually vulnerable. Lack of accurate information about sexual health means there are many myths and misconceptions about sex and HIV, contributing to increasing transmission rates.
Unaware of the risks, young people, especially girls, face many threats to healthy lives.
A Solução: Qual é a sua solução? Seja específico!
An interactive eLearning environment, and a mobile helpline made available across Nigeria (online) and the mobile helpline and through 350 schools (90,000 students). In the elearning environment, virtual peer educators present 35 SRH and youth topics supported by quizzes, games, and cartoons.
The mobile helpline gets on average 8000 questions a month. The elearning environment was co-created with Nigerian youth, teachers and Ngos. 2500 teachers and college professors have been trained in using the program in a participatory way.
There are three versions of the program: Nigeria South, Nigeria North and after school extended version.

In Senegal the program was developed with local ngo's, ministeries and designers. See http://www.clickinfoado.sn
O Modelo: Demonstre através de um exemplo específico como sua solução faz a diferença; inclua suas atividades primárias
Taking the example of a specific school, per school, three teachers are invited to take part in a Learning about Living training, held on regional basis, The teachers learn about participatory teaching methods, how to use the Learning about Living ICT tools in the class, about Sexual and reproductive health information for teenagers. They are given a CD and paper manual with all the contents and help with installation.
In some cases the schools are given a laptop and a projector. Each school is supported by a local or regional ngo to whom they can get support.
In the class the contents are aligned with the curriculum, the teachers give the lessons on all the topics such as self-esteem, leadership, gender equality, body abuse, hiv/aids prevention and many others. Students now have access to non judgemental information and skills on topics essential to healthy growing up. Further if a student has a particular problem which goes beyond the classroom - youth friendly teaching on life topics tends to bring forth many individual cases - the teacher can refer students to the annonymous helpline 'My Question' or be referred to a local ngo specialised in youth friendly services.
Outside of the school setting the mobile helpline is provided nationwide to all young people. They can call or text (free) and get accurate and speedy answers to their questions. Trained knowledge workers reply in local language
As a side effect the program also encourages more participatory teaching methods in the participating schools and improves the ICT skills of students and teachers.
O Mercado: Quem são os seus pares e concorrentes? Identificar os outros que também estão trabalhando para solucionar as mesmas necessidades que você e o que você faz de diferente em relação a eles. Quais seriam os desafios impostos por esses concorrentes que impactariam no seu sucesso ou crescimento?
There are many good (and less good) ngo's working in Nigeria who provide services to young people about sexual and reproductive health. Some of them work with and help a large number of young people. These tend to be live services and as such are limited in their reach. The services can more work in tandem with out own than compete with each other, in the sense that there is a huge dearth of information so there is nowhere near market saturation.
There are also Global players such as UNFPA, IPAS, Planned Parenthood and others, most work with information and educational materials on paper.
Our growth is more inhibited by the lack of computer availability and internet costs.
We hope to redevelop our materials to work for feature phones to improve availability.

IMPACTO SOCIAL
História: Queremos saber mais sobre o momento de descoberta desta solução. Conte-nos um pouco a história sobre onde e quando o(s) fundador(res) vislumbrou(aram) o potencial desta solução para mudar o mundo:
In April 2007, in Abuja, Nigeria we organised a 3 day Co-creation workshop with 30 participants from across Nigeria representing, ngos. government, young people and topic experts. The question was, how can we empower young people in Nigeria in the area of sexual and reproductive health and can ICT's play a role. The participants chose unanimously for the Learning about Living concept, and together we gave the solution shape. Furthermore in that workshop each organisation signed up to play a role in making the solution happen.
Descreva a meta da sua iniciativa; fale sobre o que você está tentando alcançar.
Two goals:
1. Provide young people in West and North Africa with non-judgemental, accurate sexual and reproductive health information and skills to lead a healthy, empowered and gender balanced life.
2. Develop toolkits to assist other ngo's, governments, service providers to adapt the contents and approach of Learning about Living to their country or specific context.
Qual foi o impacto da sua solução até hoje?
In Nigeria the the elearning program is ongoing in 360 schools and youth center across this large country, and has already reaching 93,000 students. After 25 lessons students are equipped with a body of important information and life skills.
The mobile helpline gets on average 8000 questions a month for the lats 3 and half years. Questions are answered by trained knowledge workers within 24 hours. Questions are for 80% from young people between 15 and 25 years. Their questions are about basic HIV/aids information, STI's, puberty and body changes, reproductive functions, pregnancy and contraceptive use. These are question that young people needed help with, quickly, accurately and anonymously.
In Senegal the project, started in 2010 is running in 10 schools and 3 youth centers, and answers 7000 questions a month on average.
In Morocco, the project reaches 50,000 young people via the radio show has answered 20.000 questions since the start last year.
Qual é a sua expectativa de impacto para os próximos 5 anos?
In short, sustain and upscale in Nigeria, Senegal and Morroco and adapt the program to Mali, Egypt and Pakistan.
We aim to reach another 150,000 young people in Nigeria with the eLearning program, and help a further 500.000 by answering their questions via mobile.
In Senegal our target is to reach 50.000 young people with the eLearning program and help a further 350.000 young people by answering their questions.
In Morroco, the radio program is very successful but we are still working on the Telco co-operation and wish to cement this relationship in the coming year and increase the number of questions we can answer.
In Mali the program will start in 2012 with adapting the Senegalese eLearning for the Malinese context and installing the helpline nationwide.

SUSTENTABILIDADE
Por favor, explique de que forma o estabelecimento de parcerias é importante para o sucesso de sua inovação
This is a multi-partner effort, with in Nigeria, with Action Health Incorporated, NERDC, Education as a Vaccine Against Aids (EVA), Girls’ Power Initiative (GPI); supported by the Federal Ministry of Education, Federal Ministry of Health and in Senegal : (DCMS-DEMSG-Inspection Daaras), Action Aid, GEEP, FAWE, INTERMONDES, Fédération Nationale des Parents d'Elèves et d'Etudiants du Sénégal (FENAPES), Population Council and RAES and of course in all countries with teachers, parents and students.
Atualmente você planeja atender outros locais, mercados e populações específicas com sua inovação? Se sim, onde e por quê?
The Learning about Living program has already been adapted for Senegal, see here - http://www.infoado.sn And in this version we have entended to use radio and facebook aswell. The program digital IEC materials are just finished and it has been pilotted in 10 schools in Dakar and Ziguinchor. Furthermore the national helpline (sms and call) has received some 80,000 questions in 7 months.
The program has also been adapted for Morocco, the mobile helpline combined with a radio program has a listnership of 50,000. We are planned to work on a Malinese version this year.
Que tipo de ambiente operacional e fatores da organização interna ajudarão o projeto a ser bem sucedido?
Both organisations are small and flexibel. We can respond at short notice. We are continually adapting the program and the technologies used to the context and the changing landscapes. When we discovered for example that most youths we were targeting in Senegal were not literate we made spoken animations in Wolof. The sms platform is continually being updated for new languages and to enable local ngo's to continue to run the service themselves. Due to our enthusiasm we are able to garner a lot of extra energy for the project.
Fale mais sobre as necessidades ou ofertas que você selecionou anteriormente e/ou sugira categorias de apoio que não foram listadas
One of the main challenges in rolling out the program is getting Telco's on board, as they all need to collaborate to make a shortcode work and then getting them to reduce costs or sponsor services is challenging and time intensive. So if there was mentorship or other help possible to tackle this challenge we would be greatly helped,
