JEUNESSE ET EMPLOI

Dans un monde où tous tournent à la vitesse vertigineuse, le marché du travail devient un secteur clé pour les demandeurs d’emplois surtout pour les jeunes qui après leurs études, ne savent pas exactement dans quel domaine s’orienter. Bien que le jeune ait une idée en tête, le hic se pose quand ce dernier ne répond pas au critère requis !!

Bon nombre de jeunes se trouve dans une phase difficile lorsque, après leurs études terminées, ils ont à face faire au monde du travail. Alors que le marché du travail devient de plus en plus compétitif, les demandes d’expériences et surtout les qualifications académiques sont très importantes pour se faire embaucher que ce soit dans un secteur privé ou gouvernemental.

Je vais énumérer deux types de problèmes que personnellement je trouve complexe pour un jeune lorsque ce dernier est en quête d’un emploi. Le premier, c’est un jeune qui ayant terminé tous ses cycles de scolarité et ayant un diplôme en main, se retrouve insatisfait de son salaire mensuel car son diplôme vaut plus de ce qu’il gagne. Dans un cas pareil on voit ce jeune quitter son pays pour voir si l’herbe est plus verte ailleurs et la c’est le pays qui en souffre.

Ca c’est un premier constat, le deuxième survient quand ce même jeune qui ayant un niveau académique très faible veut tenter sa chance dans un job qui l’inspire car d’après ses expériences, il se sent apte, mais malheureusement, sans diplôme, il se voit refuser le poste ou alors il est pris sur une base contractuelle le temps de trouver une personne ayant les qualifications académiques appropriées.

Dans les deux cas sus mentionnées, nous constatons que le jeune malgré son niveau académique faible ou élevé, il s ‘en sort perdant. Et le pays également car d’un coté le jeune quittera le pays et de l’autre le jeune sans emploi se retrouve frustrer et vulnérable aux fléaux de la société.

Je pense qu’il ne faut pas juger un jeune que par son niveau académique, je pense que l’expérience est plus importante. On se pose la question pourquoi des adultes apprennent toujours. Je suis sure que ce jeune qui a un taux faible au niveau académique et bien plus meilleur dans un métier que celui qui a les normes requises. Comme on dit, on apprend à tout age !!

¿JUVENTUD Y EMPLEO

en un mundo donde todos vuelven a la velocidad vertiginosa, el mercado laboral se convierte en un sector clave para los solicitantes d? ¿empleos sobre todo para los jóvenes que después de sus estudios, no saben exactamente en qué ámbito s? orientar. ¡Aunque el joven tenga una idea en cabeza, el hic se plantea cuando este último no responde al criterio requerido!!

Un gran número de jóvenes se encuentra en una fase difícil cuando, después de sus estudios terminados, tienen a cara hacer del mundo trabajo. ¿Mientras que el mercado laboral se vuelve cada vez más competitivo, las solicitudes d? experiencias y sobre todo las calificaciones académicas son muy importantes para hacerse contratar tanto en un sector privado como gubernamental.

¿Voy a enumerar dos tipos de problemas que personalmente encuentro complejo para un joven cuando este último está en búsqueda d? un empleo. ¿El primero, c? ¿es un joven que terminando todos sus ciclos de escolaridad y que tienen un título en mano, se encuentra descontento de su salario mensual ya que su título vale más de este qu? gana. ¿En un caso similar se ve a este joven dejar su país para ver si l? ¿hierba es más verde a otra parte y el c? es el país que sufre.

¿Ca c? ¿es una primer acta, el segundo ocurre cuándo este mismo joven que teniendo un nivel académico muy bajo quiere intentar su oportunidad en un trabajo que l? ¿inspira ya que d? tras sus experiencias, se siente apto, pero desgraciadamente, sin título, se ve rechazar el puesto o entonces se toma sobre una base contractual el tiempo de encontrar una persona que tiene las calificaciones académicas convenientes.

¿En los dos casos encimas mencionadas, constatamos que el joven a pesar de su elevado nivel académico bajo o, él s? en sale perdedor. ¿Y el país también ya que d? ¿numerado joven dejará el país y de l? el otro joven en paro se encuentra frustrar y vulnerable a las plagas de la sociedad.

¿Pienso qu? ¿no es necesario juzgar a un joven que por su nivel académico, pienso que l? experiencia es más importante. Se se plantea la cuestión porqué adultos aprenden siempre. Soy amargo que este joven que tiene un tipo escaso a mejor nivel académico y bien en un oficio que el que tiene las normas requeridas. ¡Tan se dice, se aprende a toda edad!!

GIOVENTÙ ED OCCUPAZIONE

in un mondo in cui tutti girano alla velocità vertigineuse, il mercato del lavoro diventa un settore chiave per i richiedenti d? occupazioni soprattutto per i giovani che dopo i loro studi, non sanno esattamente in quale settore s? orientare. Benché il giovane abbia un'idea in testa, il hic si pone quando quest'ultimo non risponde al criterio necessario!!

Un buono numero di giovani si trova tra una fase difficile quando, dopo i loro studi terminati, hanno a faccia fare al mondo lavoro. Mentre il mercato del lavoro diventa sempre più competitivo, le domande d? esperienze e soprattutto le qualificazioni accademiche sono molto importanti per farsi assumere che sia in un settore privato o governativo.

Enumererò due tipi di problemi che personalmente trovo complesso per un giovane quando quest'ultimo è in ricerca d? un'occupazione. Il primo, c? è un giovane che avendo terminato tutti i suoi cicli di scolarità ed in possesso di un titolo di studio a disposizione, si trova insoddisfatto del suo salario mensile poiché il suo diploma vale più di questo qu? guadagna. In un caso simile si vede questo giovane lasciare il proprio paese per vedere se l? erba è più verde altrove ed il c? è il paese che ne soffre.

Ca c? è una prima constatazione, la seconda si verifica quando questo stesso giovane che avendo un livello accademico molto debole vuole tentare la sua possibilità in un lavoro che l? ispira poiché d? dopo le sue esperienze, si sente atto, ma purtroppo, senza diploma, si vede rifiutare il posto o allora è preso su una base contrattuale il tempo di trovare una persona avente le qualificazioni accademiche adeguate.

Nei due casi sus citate, constatiamo che il giovane nonostante il suo livello accademico debole o elevato, egli s? in esce perdente. Ed il paese anche poiché d? quotato un giovane lascerà il paese e di l? l'altro giovane disoccupato si trova frustrer e vulnerabile alle pesti della società.

Penso qu? non occorre giudicare un giovane che con il suo livello accademico, penso soltanto l? esperienza è più importante. Ci si chiede la precisazione perché adulti apprendono sempre. Sono aspra che questo giovane che ha un tasso debole a livello accademico e molto più migliore in un lavoro che quello che ha le norme necessarie. Così si dice, si apprende a qualsiasi età!!

JUGEND UND BESCHÄFTIGUNG

in einer Welt, wo alle mit der schwindelerregenden Geschwindigkeit drehen, wird der Arbeitsmarkt ein Schlüsselsektor für die Antragsteller d? Arbeitsplätze besonders für die Jugendlichen, die nach ihren Studien nicht genau auf welchem Gebiet wissen s? zu richten. Obwohl der Jugendliche eine Idee in Kopf hat, stellt sich das Problem, wenn letztere nicht dem erforderlichen Kriterium entspricht!!

Eine beträchtliche Anzahl Jugendliche befindet sich in einer schwierigen Phase, wenn nach ihren beendeten Studien sie an Seite haben, am Leben Erwerb zu machen. Während der Arbeitsmarkt immer wettbewerbsfähiger wird, die Nachfragen d? Erfahrungen und besonders die akademischen Qualifikationen sind sehr wichtig, um sich einstellen zu lassen, sei es auf einem privaten oder Regierungssektor.

Ich werde zwei Arten von Problemen aufzählen, die persönlich ich finde Komplex für einen Jugendlichen, wenn letztere in Suche d ist? ein Arbeitsplatz. Das Erste, c? ist ein Jugendlicher, der sich all seine Schulzeitzyklen beendend und die ein Diplom in Hand haben, von seinem monatlichen Gehalt unbefriedigt wiederfindet, denn sein Diplom ist mehr als dieses qu wert? er gewinnt. In einem ähnlichen Fall sieht man diesen Jugendlichen sein Land verlassen, um zu sehen, ob l? Gras ist anderswo grüner und das c? ist das Land, das davon leidet.

CA c? ist ein erstes Protokoll, das Zweite kommt wann vor dieser selbe Jugendliche, der habend ein sehr schwaches akademisches Niveau sein Glück in einer Arbeit versuchen will, die l? leitet, denn d? nach seinen Erfahrungen fühlt er sich geeignet, aber leider ohne Diplom sieht er sich den Posten ablehnen, oder dann wird auf einer vertraglichen Basis die Zeit genommen, eine Person zu finden, die die angemessenen akademischen Qualifikationen hat.

In den zwei über Fällen erwähnt stellen wir fest, daß der Jugendliche trotz seines schwachen oder hohen akademischen Niveaus er s? geht Verlierer daraus hervor. Und das Land ebenfalls, denn d? notiert Jugendlicher wird das Land und von l verlassen? anderer Jugendlicher findet sich und wieder verletzbar an den Plagen der Gesellschaft arbeitslos zu frustrieren.

Ich denke qu? man darf keinen Jugendlichen verurteilen, daß durch sein akademisches Niveau ich nur l denke? Erfahrung ist wichtiger. Man stellt sich die Frage, weswegen Erwachsene immer lernen. Ich bin sauer, daß dieser Jugendliche, der einen schwachen Satz auf akademischen und dem sehr viel besseren Niveau in einem Handwerk hat als jenes, das die erforderlichen Normen hat. Wie sagt man, man lernt in jedem Alter!!

Penso qu? não é necessário julgar um jovem que pelo seu nível académico, penso único l? experiência é mais importante. Coloca-se-se a questão porque adultos aprendem sempre.

Although the young person has an idea at the head, the difficulty is posed when this last does not answer the necessary criterion!!

Considerable young people is in a difficult phase when, after their finished studies, they have with face to do in the world work. Whereas the labour market becomes increasingly competitive, the requests D? experiments and especially the academic qualifications are very important to be made engage that it is in a private or governmental sector.

I will enumerate two types of problems that personally I find complex for a young person when this last is in search D? an employment. The first, C? is a young person who having finished all his cycles of schooling and having a diploma in hand, finds himself dissatisfied of his monthly wages because its diploma is worth more this qu? it gains. In does a similar case one see this young person leaving his country to see whether L? is grass greener elsewhere and C? is the country which suffers from it.

Ca C? is a first report, the second occurs when this same young person who having a very low academic level wants to try his chance in a job which L? bus D inspires? after its experiments, it feels suited, but unfortunately, without diploma, it is seen refusing the station or then it is taken on a contractual basis time to find a person having the adapted academic qualifications.

In do the two known cases mentioned, we note that the young person in spite of his low or raised academic level, it S? in losing fate. And country also bus D? with dimensions young person will leave the country and of L? other the young person without employment is found to frustrate and vulnerable to the plagues of the company.

I think qu? it should not be judged a young person that by his academic level, I think that L? experiment is more important. One puts the question why adults always learn. I am sour that this young person who has a low rate at the academic level and much better in a trade that that which has the necessary standards. How one says, one learns at any age!!

UNGDOMMEN, OCH ANSTÄLLNING

i en värld, var all vänd på vertiginous rusat, arbetet marknadsför, blir en nyckel- sektor för sökandarna D? anställning speciellt för ungdomaren vem efter deras studier, inte, vet exakt i vilka sätter in S? att rikta. Även om den unga personen har en idé på huvudet, poseras svårigheten, när denna jumbo inte svarar det nödvändiga kriteriet!!

Den betydliga ungdomaren är i ett svårt arrangerar gradvis, när, efter deras färdiga studier, dem har haft med, vända mot för att göra i världsarbetet. Eftersom arbetet marknadsför, mer och mer konkurrenskraftiga, blir förfråganna D? experiment och speciellt de akademiska kvalifikationerna är mycket viktiga att göras kopplar in att det är i en privat eller stats- sektor.

Jag ska enumerate två typer av problem som jag finner personligen komplex för en ung person, när denna jumbo är i sökande D? en anställning. Första, C? är en ung person, som efter att ha avslutat sig allt his cyklar av skolgång, och ha ett diplom räcka in, självt missbelåtet för fynd av hans månadstidningtimpenningar, därför att dess diplom är värt mer denna qu? det når. I ser ett liknande fall ett denna unga person att lämna hans land för att se huruvida L? är gräs mer grön någon annanstans och C? är landet som lider från det.

Ca C? är en första rapport, understödja uppstår, när denna samma unga person, som ha en jämn mycket låg akademiker önskar till försök his, riskerar i ett jobb som L? bussa D inspirerar? efter dess experiment ses som det känselförnimmelser som passas, men tyvärr, utan diplomet, det att vägrar postera eller det, tas därefter på en avtalsenlig bastid att finna en person som har de anpassade akademiska kvalifikationerna.

I de två bekant fallen som nämns, oss noterar att den unga personen trots hans jämna low eller lyftta akademiker, det S? i losing öde. Och landet bussar också D? med dimensionerar den unga personen ska tjänstledighetar landet och av L? annat den unga personen utan anställning finnas för att frustrera och sårbart till epidemierna av företaget.

I funderare qu? det bör inte bedömas en ung person, som vid hans akademiskt jämnar, I-funderare som L? experiment är viktigare. En sätter ifrågasätta varför vuxen människa lärer alltid. Sur förmiddag I, som denna unga person, som har en low att klassa på det akademiskt, jämnar, och mycket som är bättre i en handel som det som har de nödvändiga normana. Hur en något att säga, en lärer på någon ålder!!

Делают МОЛОДОСТЬ И ЗАНЯТОСТЬ

в мире где весь поворот на vertiginous скорости, рынока труда будет ключевым участком для заявителей d? занятость специально для молодых людей после того как их изучения, не сделайте знать точно в котором поле s? сразу. Хотя молодой человек имеет идею на головке, затруднение представлено когда this last не отвечает обязательно критерию!!

Значительные молодые люди находятся в трудном участке когда, после того как их законченные изучения, они будут иметь с стороной, котор нужно сделать в работе мира. Тогда как рынока труда будет все больше и больше конкурсным, запросы d? эксперименты и специально академичные квалификации очень важны быть сделанным включают что оно находится в приватном или правительственном участке.

Я перечислю 2 типа проблем лично я считаю комплекс для молодого человека когда this last находит в поиске d? занятость. Первое, c? будет молодой человек заканчивающ всеми его циклами обучать и иметь диплом in hand, находки себя неудовлетворенные его ежемесячных зарплат потому что свой диплом be worth больше этого qu? он приобретает. В аналогичный случай одно этот молодой человек выходит его страна для того чтобы увидеть видит, что ли l? трава зелене в другом месте и c? страна терпит от его.

Ca c? первый рапорт, секунда происходит когда этот такой же молодой человек который иметь очень низкий академичный уровень хочет для того чтобы попытаться его шанс в работе которая l? шина d воодушевляет? после своих экспериментов, она чувствует одетой, но несчастливо, без диплома, увидено отказывая станцию или после этого она принята на время договорно-правовая основы найти, что персона имела приспособленные академичные квалификации.

В делает 2 известных случая упомянутые, что, мы заметил что молодой человек in spite of его низкий уровень или поднятый академичный уровень, оно s? в losing судьбе. И страна также везет d на автобусе? с размерами молодой человек выйдет страна и l? другое молодой человек без занятости найдены, что расстраивает и уязвимо к чумам компании.

Я думаю qu? он не должен быть рассужен молодому человеку его академичным уровнем, я думает тот l? эксперимент важне. Одно кладет вопрос почему взрослые всегда учат. Я кисл что этот молодой человек имеет низкий тариф на академичном уровне и очень более лучше в торговле то имеет обязательно стандарты. Как говорить, одно учит на любом времени!!

JEUGD EN BETREKKING

in een wereld waar iedereen aan de duizelingwekkende snelheid richt, wordt de arbeidsmarkt een sleutelsector voor de aanvragers d? arbeidsplaatsen vooral voor de jongeren die na hun studies, niet precies op welk gebied s weten? oriënteren. Hoewel de jongeman een idee in hoofd heeft, legt hic zich wanneer laatstgenoemde niet aan het vereiste criterium! beantwoordt!

Het goede aantal jongeren bevindt zich in een moeilijke fase wanneer, na hun beëindigde studies, zij aan gezicht aan de wereld werk doen hebben. Terwijl de arbeidsmarkt steeds meer concurrerend wordt, de vragen d? de experimenten en vooral de academische kwalificaties zijn zeer belangrijk om zich te laten in dienst nemen dat het in een particuliere of gouvernementele sector is.

Ik ga twee soorten problemen opsommen die persoonlijk ik complex voor een jongeman vind wanneer laatstgenoemde in inzameling d is? een betrekking. De eerste, c? is een jongeman die beëindigd al zijn cycli van schooltijd en die een diploma in handen hebben, ontevreden van zijn maandelijks loon is want zijn diploma geldt meer van dit qu? hij wint. In een dergelijk geval ziet men deze jongeman zijn land verlaten om te zien of l? het gras is groener elders en c? is het land dat erover lijdt.

D.w.z c? is een eerste constatering, de tweede komt wanneer voor dezelfde jongeman die hebbend een zeer laag academisch niveau zijn kans in een job wil proberen die l? inspireert want d? na zijn experimenten, voelt hij zich in staat, maar helaas, zonder diploma, ziet hij zich de post weigeren of dan is hij op een contractuele basis de tijd om een persoon te vinden genomen die de aangewezen academische kwalificaties heeft.

In beide hierboven gevallen vermeld, stellen wij vast dat de jongeman ondanks zijn laag of hoog academisch niveau, hij s? in gaat de verliezer weg. En het land eveneens want d? genoteerd jongeman zal het land en van l verlaten? de andere werkloze bevindt zich en kwetsbare jongeman aan de plagen van de maatschappij frustreren weer.

Ik denk qu? men mag geen jongeman oordelen dat door zijn academisch niveau, ik slechts l denk? de ervaring is belangrijker. Men stelt zich de vraag waarom volwassenen altijd leren. Ik ben zurig dat deze jongeman die een geringe koers op academisch en veel beter niveau in een beroep heeft dan die die de vereiste normen heeft. Wat zegt men, men leert aan elke leeftijd!!

Etre jeune c ‘est une transition de passage de l’enfance à l’adolescence et de l’adolescence à l’adulte. C’est une phase importante où le jeune doit apprendre à s’adapter à son environnement, à différencier entre le bien et le mal, le bon et le mauvaise. Il doit également faire face aux défis de la vie, l’enjeu économique et le monde du travail.

Lorsque le jeune ne retrouve pas une certaine stabilité, ce dernier se sent frustrer. Survient à ce moment la tentation d’une vie facile. Pour s’affirmer, le jeune tombe dans ce qu’on appelle les fléaux sociaux. Il connaît alors sa première cigarette et s’ensuivrent les autres facteurs clés telles l’alcholisme, le tabagisme, la drogue, la prostitution et tous ceci contribue largement à la dégradation dans la vie sociale d’un jeune.

De plus le taux de chômage parmis les jeunes ne cessent d’accroître, la pauvreté, violence parmis les jeunes et surtout les maladies sexuellement transmissibles entraînent le VIH/SIDA.

Heureusement la société n’est pas insensible à ces fléaux et dans ce sens beaucoup de campagnes de sensibilisations sont organisées que ce soit par les organisations de jeunesse, non gouvernementales ou par le Ministère de la Santé entre autres.

Des concertations de jeunesse au niveau International sont organisées régulièrement dans le but d’un partage d’idées plus élargies et des projets en commun pour contre carrer ces problèmes.

Personnellement je pense que la société contribue et investi grandement pour combattre ces fléaux malgré qu’il reste un long chemin à parcourir. Je suis moi-même membre d’une organisation non gouvernementale, qui lutte contre toutes formes de violence domestique.

Nous organisons régulièrement des causeries destinées aux étudiants du primaires et secondaires. Des cours en « Family Life Education » et de « Leadership » pour des jeunes venant des régions rurales. Des ateliers résidentiels pour permettre aux jeunes de s’exprimer et de venir de l’avant avec des idées innovantes.

Malgré le fait que notre société est fragile, ensemble je pense que nous réussirons à surmonter ce chemin certes difficile mais un avenir prometteur.

¿Ser joven c? ¿es una transición de paso de l? ¿infancia a l? ¿adolescencia y de l? ¿adolescencia a l? adulto. ¿C? ¿es una fase importante en que el joven debe de aprender a s? adaptar a su medio ambiente, a diferenciar entre el bien y el mal, la orden y lo mala. ¿Debe también hacer frente a los retos de la vida, l? lo que está en juego a nivel económico y el mundo del trabajo.

Cuando el joven no encuentra una determinada estabilidad, este último se siente frustrar. ¿Ocurre en ese momento tentación d? una vida fácil. ¿Para s? ¿afirmar, el joven cae en este qu? se llaman las plagas sociales. ¿Conoce entonces su primer cigarrillo y s? ¿ensuivrent los otros factores clave tales l? ¿alcholisme, el tabaquismo, la droga, la prostitución y todo esto contribuye de sobra a la degradación en la vida social d? un joven.

¿Además la tasa de desempleo parmis los jóvenes no cesan d? aumentar, la pobreza, violencia parmis los jóvenes y sobre todo las enfermedades de transmisión sexual implican el VIH/SIDA.

¿Afortunadamente la sociedad n? no es insensible a estas plagas y en este sentido las organizaciones de juventud organizan muchas campañas de sensibilizaciones tanto, no gubernamentales como por el Ministerio de Salud entre otras cosas.

¿Se organizan concertaciones de juventud a nivel Internacional regularmente en el objetivo d? ¿una división d? ideas más ampliadas y proyectos en común para contra ajustar estos problemas.

¿Personalmente pienso que la sociedad contribuye e invertido en gran parte para combatir estas plagas a pesar de qu? queda un largo camino por recorrer. ¿Yo mismo soy miembro d? una organización no gubernamental, que lucha contra todas las formas de violencia doméstica.

Organizamos regularmente charlas destinadas a los estudiantes de las enseñanzas primarias y secundarios.

A pesar del hecho de que nuestra sociedad sea frágil, juntas pienso que conseguiremos superar este camino ciertamente difícil pero un futuro prometedor.

Gioventù e pesti sociali
Automatically translated into Italian thanks to WorldLingo
Essere giovane c? è una transizione di passaggio di l? infanzia a l? adolescenza e di l? adolescenza a l? adulto. C? è una fase importante dove il giovane deve apprendere a s? adattare al suo ambiente, a differenziare tra il bene ed il male, il buono e la cattiva. Deve anche fare fronte alle sfide della vita, l? sfida economica ed il mondo del lavoro.

Quando il giovane non trova una certa stabilità, quest'ultimo si sente frustrer. Si verifica allora tentazione d? una vita facile. Per s? affermare, il giovane cade in questo qu? si chiamano le pesti sociali. Conosce allora la sua prima sigaretta e s? ensuivrent gli altri fattori chiave tali l? alcholisme, il tabagismo, la droga, la prostituzione e tutto questo contribuisce in gran parte al deterioramento nella vita sociale d? un giovane.

Più del tasso di disoccupazione parmis i giovani non cessano d? aumentare, la povertà, violenza parmis i giovani e soprattutto le malattie sessualmente trasmissibili comportano il VIH/SIDA.

Fortunatamente la società n? non è insensible a queste pesti ed in questo senso molte campagne di sensibilizzazioni sono organizzate che sia dalle organizzazioni di gioventù, non governative o da parte del ministero della sanità tra l'altro.

Concertazioni di gioventù a livello internazionale sono organizzate regolarmente allo scopo d? una divisione d? idee più allargate e progetti in comune per contro aggiustare questi problemi.

Personalmente penso che la società contribuisca ed investito in gran parte per combattere queste pesti nonostante qu? rimane un lungo cammino da percorrere. Sono io stesso membro d? un'organizzazione non governativa, che lotta contro qualsiasi forma di violenza domestica.

Organizziamo regolarmente conversazioni destinate agli studenti dei primari e secondari. Corsi “in Family Life istruzione„ e “di direzione„ per giovani che vengono dalle regioni rurali. Seminari residenziali per permettere ai giovani di s? esprimere e di venire da l? di con idee innovative.

Nonostante il fatto che la nostra società è fragile, insieme penso che riusciremo a superare questo cammino certamente difficile ma un futuro promettente.

Soziale Jugend und Plagen

Junges c sein? ist ein übergang des überganges l? Kindheit l? Jugend und von l? Jugend l? Erwachsener. C? ist eine wichtige Phase, wo der Jugendliche lernen muß s? an seine Umwelt anzupassen zwischen dem Gut und dem übel, dem Bon und dem schlechten zu unterscheiden. Er muß ebenfalls die Herausforderungen des Lebens meistern, l? wirtschaftlicher Einsatz und das Erwerbsleben.

Wenn der Jugendliche keine gewisse Stabilität wiederfindet, fühlt sich letztere frustrieren. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt vor kommt die Versuchung d? ein einfaches Leben. Für s? zu behaupten fällt der Jugendliche in dieses qu? man ruft die sozialen Plagen. Er kennt dann seine erste Zigarette und s? ensuivrent die anderen Schlüsselfaktoren wie l? alcholisme, der Nikotinismus, die Droge, die Prostitution und all dies tragen weitgehend zur Verschlechterung im sozialen Leben d bei? ein Jugendlicher.

Außerdem die Arbeitslosenquote parmis hören die Jugendlichen kein d auf? die Armut, Gewalt parmis bewirken die übertragbaren Jugendlichen und die Krankheiten sexuell besonders zu steigern das VIH/SIDA.

Glücklicherweise die Gesellschaft n? ist gefühllos an diesen Plagen, und in diesem Sinn werden viele Sensibilisierungskampagnen daß es ist von den Jugendorganisationen organisiert, nicht Regierungs- oder durch das Gesundheitsministerium unter anderem.

Eine Jugendkonzertation auf dem internationalen Niveau wird regelmäßig im Ziel d organisiert? eine Teilung d? erweitertere Ideen und gemeinsame Projekte für gegen diese Probleme zu quadrieren.

Persönlich denke ich, daß die Gesellschaft beiträgt, und in hohem Maße investiert, um diese Plagen trotz qu zu bekämpfen? man muß ein langer Weg noch durchqueren. Ich bin selbst Mitglied d? eine Nichtregierungsorganisation, die alle Formen von Hausgewalt bekämpft.

Wir organisieren regelmäßig für die Studenten der Grundschulen und Sekundarstufen bestimmte Gespräche. Kurse in „Family Life Erziehung“ und von „Führung“ für Jugendliche, die von den Landregionen kommen. Wohnwerkstätten, um den Jugendlichen zu erlauben von s? auszudrücken und von l zu kommen? vor mit innovativen Ideen.

Trotz der Tatsache, daß unsere Gesellschaft zerbrechlich ist, zusammen denke ich, daß wir erfolgreich sein werden, diesen sicherlich schwierigen Weg, aber eine vielversprechende Zukunft zu überwinden.

Juventude e Calamidades Sociais
Automatically translated into Portuguese thanks to WorldLingo
Ser jovem c? é uma transição de passagem de l? infância à l? adolescência e de l? adolescência à l? adulto. C? é uma fase importante em que o jovem deve aprender à s? adaptar ao seu ambiente, diferenciar entre o bem e o mal, o cupão e o má. Deve igualmente fazer face aos desafios da vida, l? desafio económico e o mundo do trabalho.

Quando o jovem não reencontra certa estabilidade, este último sente-se frustrar. Ocorre nesse momento tentation d? uma vida fácil. Para s? afirmar, o jovem cai neste qu? chama-se as calamidades sociais. Conhece então o seu primeiro cigarro e s? ensuivrent os outros factores chave tais l? alcholisme, o tabagismo, a droga, a prostituição e todos os contribui largamente para a degradação na vida social d? um jovem.

Mais da taxa de desemprego parmis os jovens não cessam d? aumentar, a pobreza, violência parmis os jovens e sobretudo as doenças sexualmente transmissíveis provocam o VIH/SIDA.

Felizmente a sociedade n? não é insensible à estas calamidades e neste sentido muitas campanhas de sensibilizações são organizadas que seja pelas organizações de juventude, não governamentais ou pelo Ministério da Saúde designadamente.

Concertações de juventude a nível Internacional são organizadas regularmente com o objectivo d? uma divisão d? ideias mais alargadas e projectos em comum para contra quadrar estes problemas.

Pessoalmente penso que a sociedade contribui e investido amplamente para combater estas calamidades apesar de qu? permanece um longo caminho percorrer. Sou eu mesmo membro d? uma organização não governamental, que luta contra todas as formas de violência doméstica.

Organizamos regularmente conversas destinadas aos estudantes dos primários e secundários. Cursos “em Family Vida Educação” e “de Liderança” para jovens que vêm das regiões rurais. Ateliers residenciais para permitir aos jovens de s? exprimir e de vir de l? antes com ideias inovadoras.

Apesar do facto de a nossa sociedade é frágil, juntos penso que teremos êxito a superar este caminho certamente difícil mas um futuro prometedor.

Social youth and Plagues

To be young C? is a transition from passage of L? childhood with L? adolescence and of L? adolescence with L? adult. C? where the young person is an important phase must learn with S? to adapt to its environment, to differentiate between the good and the evil, the good and the bad one. It must also face the challenges of the life, L? economic stake and the world of work.

When the young person does not find a certain stability, this last feels to frustrate. Temptation D occurs at this time? an easy life. For S? to affirm, the young fall into this qu? the social plagues are called. It then knows its first cigarette and S? the other key factors such L ensuivrent? does alcholism, the nicotinism, drug, the prostitution and all this contribute largely to degradation in the social life D? a young person.

Personally I think that the company contributes and invested largely to fight these plagues in spite of qu? there remains a long way to be traversed. I am myself member D? a nongovernmental organization, which fights against all forms of domestic violence.

We regularly organize talks intended for the students of the primary educations and secondaries. Courses in “Family Life Education” and of “Leadership” for young people coming from the rural areas. Residential workshops to allow the young people of S? to express and to come from L? before with innovating ideas.

In spite of the fact that our company is fragile, together I think that we will succeed in surmounting this way certainly difficult but a promising future.

The Sixth Annual African Computing
& Telecommunications Summit

Mauritius , 7-9 September, 2004

"Building Partnerships to Mainstream Africa's ICT Sector"

AITEC has been invited by the Act ICT Industry Alliance of Mauritius to hold the sixth annual ACT Summit in Mauritius due to the attendance it will attract from ICT professionals and managers from throughout Africa, as well as other international participation, thus promoting the country’s position as a supplier of ICT services and expertise.

The theme of the Summit will be “Developing Partnerships to Mainstream Africa’s ICT Industry.”

Welcoming AITEC’s decision to hold the Summit in Maurtius, Colin Taylor, Chairman of the Act ICT Industry Alliance, called on industry counterparts across Africa to use the Summit as an opportunity to pool knowledge and experience to promote the continent on the international stage. “Although some of us may land up competing for the same outsourcing work, the potential market is huge and expanding. We will all benefit from increased skills levels across the region, as well as improved perceptions of the continent’s ICT capacity. I’m confident that companies attending ACT 2004 will find that co-operation and alliances, rather than competition, will be the order of the day.”

The following will be the key streams within the Summit:

Business Process Outsourcing Forum
The African Open Source Forum, in association with the Free & Open Source Software Foundation for Africa
eGovernment Forum in association with the UN Economic Commission for Africa
Telecommunication Operators Forum in association with the Global VSAT Forum and the UK Government’s CATIA Programme
Mobile Telephony Applications for Development, in association with the Canadian Government’s Connectivity Africa Programme.
The ACT Summit has been held in the UK, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria in previous years. Over 2,000 African ICT professionals, managers, resellers, innovators and policy-makers have benefited from the Summit’s intensive knowledge-sharing platform.

The ACT Partnering Hub
All delegates will have use of the free service provided by the Partnering Hub to arrange meetings with potential clients, partners and suppliers. All Summit participants will be asked to provide their local mobile numbers for ease of communication and to arrange meetings. The Partnering Hub will act as a vital meeting place where delegates can make maximum use of the networking opportunities provided by ACT.

The ACT Exhibition
The Summit will include a high-quality business-to-business exhibition, enabling local and international ICT manufacturers, suppliers, service providers and operators to promote their products and services to the ACT participants, most of whom are high-volume purchasers. In addition to the exhibition stands, syndicate rooms are available to rent as display, meeting and hospitality areas for the duration of the event. As at all its exhibitions, AITEC will provide free exhibition space for NGOs, non-profit development agencies and other non-profit organizations involved in ICT for development to network and attract partners and supporters.

IDRC FUNDS PROJECT TO TEACH WIRELESS BUILDERS, PROGRAMMERS IN AFRICA

Plans To Educate Wi-Fi Implementers Via Organized Workshops, Documentation

Urbana, IL, July 3, 2004 - Following attendance at a European wireless conference, the Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) worked closely with the Association for Progressive Communications, Ecole Supérieure Multinationale des Télécommunications, and wire.less.dk, a Dutch wireless consulting company, to draft a proposal designed to educate wireless implementers in Africa. The International Development Research Centre (IDRC) has funded the proposal for $225,000 US over the period from July 2004 to June 2006.

CUWiN's involvement in this program is key to sharing our cutting edge technology and experience with trainers and technologists in developing African countries. A positive benefit of making this technical information available online to this target audience is that it will then be available to wireless implementers globally.

The program will be used to teach trainers in Africa how to build out wireless infrastructure and programmers adding features to existing software and those creating new software. The diverse population of Africa faces unique hurdles which this program will overcome through a variety of techniques:

-- Training: hands-on workshops in North, South, and West Africa;

-- Materials development: documentation collected and translated to
English, French, and Arabic; and

-- Distributed knowledge base: development and maintenance of the CUWiN
SourceForge development site to collect technical information of
interest to wireless implementers and programmers

Through projects such as this, the groundwork is being laid to establish lasting communities of wireless networking practitioners in Africa -- and across the world -- with a vision of holding future in-depth training sessions in greater numbers once this path-finding and the program itself are concluded.

About CUWiN

The Champaign-Urbana Community Wireless Network (CUWiN) has built a communications network using wireless networking equipment. This is essentially the same "WiFi" equipment used in homes and offices, but CUWiN puts it on rooftops to connect neighbors and form a high-speed community network.

CUWiN's three-part mission is to:

-- connect more people to Internet and broadband services;

-- develop open-source hardware and software for use by wireless
projects world-wide; and

-- build and support community-owned, not-for-profit broadband
networks in cities and towns around the globe.

CUWiN is a program of the Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center. OJC Technologies is CUWiN's development home.

From 7-9 July, the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) hosted a meeting in Geneva, bringing together government policy makers and regulators, representatives of Internet service providers, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) companies, academics, civil society organizations and others, in an effort to counter spam, a "modern day epidemic," and to standardize anti-spam legislation. At present, many countries have no such laws, making it difficult to prosecute spammers.

Robert Horton, head of Australia's Communications Authority, served as the Chairman of the meeting. According to the Chairman's report that emanated from the meeting, "unsolicited commercial communications" or so-called spam has grown into one of the major plagues affecting today's digital world. As much as 80% of all e-mail traffic is spam, compared to 35% a year ago, according to the ITU, with spammers sending hundreds of millions of messages per day. The estimated costs of spam to the global economy are approximately US$25 billion dollars per year. The problem is spreading also to cell phones. In Japan, nine out of ten junk e-mails come in the form of mobile telephone text messages.


Most speakers and participants seemed to agree that there is no "silver bullet," or consensus emerging on the right way forward, as no one solution alone will curb spam. A multi-pronged approach to solving the problem, involving all stakeholders, is clearly necessary. All actors need to engage in a concerted effort, linking the mandates and expertise of various international organizations, as well as the Internet Society, to support and progressively develop an international framework to combat the problem.

The Chairman's report states that spam is a major problem for developed countries, but perhaps is even worse for developing and least developed countries (LDCs), where, because of limited available Internet resources, many users rely on free web-based e-mail services with limits on free storage, which are particularly targeted by spammers. A number of participants highlighted that because of less effective security protection, computers on broadband networks are often compromised in order to hijack then to send spam.

In a session on multilateral and bilateral cooperation, international organizations, regional bodies, and a number of UN Member States presented a review of their initiatives to tackle spam and their views on possible future international cooperation. Acknowledging that the society and culture of each country is different, participants pointed out that it would be very difficult to employ the same anti-spam legislation everywhere. However, information sharing among different national authorities and a cooperative approach to anti-spam law enforcement were seen as fundamental.

Three initiatives were announced during the meeting in Geneva:
1) the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on mutural enforcement on commercial e-mail between enforcement agencies of Australia, the UK and the US, which will include a meeting in London in October 2004;
2) the establishment of an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Task Force on spam, which is likely to hold its first meeting in Busan (South Korea) in early September 2004, in conjunction with ITU Telecom Asia and the OECD's 2nd spam workshop;
3) the holding of a special session on spam at the ITU's Global Symposium for Regulators in December 2004.

The Punjab Information Technology Department also announced that it is hiring 'world class' IT professionals to implement its e-government vision.

According to Punjab Information Technology Minister Abdul Aleem Khan, the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) will spearhead the development of a 'genuine e-government culture' through investment in infrastructure and key personnel.

At a specially-convened meeting with the Punjab Secretary for IT Saeed Alvi, the Rector of the Virtual University Naveed Malik, Dr Qaiser Durrani, Khalid Ahmad Khan of Project Management and Kaiwan Khawaja of Technologic, the IT Minister laid out his spending plans and gave the green light to a series of internal initiatives at the Information
Technology Department.

Minister Khan made it clear that the government planned to develop and modernise the IT department on modern lines for the purpose of improving internal civil service efficiency, and bringing in good governance in the practical sense. Various prospects of improving performance of Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) were also discussed in the meeting.

The meeting decided to advertise the posts of Chief information Officer and Chief Technology Officer for PITB in the local and international media.

The meeting agreed to hire IT professionals of International calibre and experience, capable of promoting IT vision in the province. The minister announced that the government was encouraging local and international IT companies to set up IT Parks in the province and in this regard, special incentives would be offered to the serious
investors.

The IT Minister also encouraged the public to share their ideas and recommendations with the Government through the Punjab Government Portal Service.

An integrated training programme to set up technical service centres in support of education in African schools

Johannesburg, 22 June 2004

Building technical and managerial capacity among a community of African schoolnet practitioners linked to the local establishment of technical service centres as facilities for ICT access, refurbishment, deployment, maintenance and teacher training for their educational use in schools, forms the essence of SchoolNet Africa’s Campaign for One Million PCs for African Schools according to its Executive Director, Ms Shafika Isaacs-Bardien. “Once we have an established management and support system in place at local level, will we be able to process large volumes of computers and related ICTs for use in schools”, she adds.

SchoolNet Africa, http://www.schoolnetafrica.net/, an African-led NGO which promotes learning and teaching through the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in African schools has just concluded the development of its training course entitled Technical Service Centre Manager’s Course in partnership with the Open Society Initiative for Southern Africa (OSISA). This comprehensive course, available in English and soon in French, covers the spectrum of activities from sourcing and procuring PCs ( particularly second-hand PCs), to setting up technical service centres as maintenance and support centres, to the environmentally-responsible disposal of end-of-life PCs, from an African perspective. It contains a wealth of reference materials and case studies on the African experience and integrates issues of gender equality, making it the first of its kind in Africa.

The first 15 of a targeted 200 schoolnet practitioners has commenced their online training on this course on Monday 14 June which will be followed by a hands-on face to face training programme for one week on 12-16 July 2004 in Johannesburg. The training will lay the basis for the set-up of schoolnet-based technical services centres in an estimated 10 African countries, starting with Mozambique, Malawi, Zambia and Zimbabwe. “We will do more than just refurbish PCs. We will offer education solutions to schools, provide maintenance and support, engage in teacher training and educational content development”, says Payton Sondashi from Computers For Zambian Secondary Schools who is one of the programme’s participants.


The course is available at http://www.schoolnetafrica.net/fileadmin/1MillionPCsTraining/Index.htm

-Communiqué de Presse-

Un programme intégré de formation en vue de la mise au point des centres d’assistance technique dans l’éducation dans les écoles africaines.

Johannesburg, le 22 Juin 2004

Établir la capacité technique et gestionnaire parmi une communauté des praticiens africains de SchoolNet liés à l'établissement des centres d’assistance technique en vue de faciliter l’accès aux TIC, la rénovation, le déploiement, l’entretien du matériel et la formation des enseignants pour leur usage éducatif dans les écoles, forme l'essence de la Campagne de SchoolNet Afrique pour Un million d’Ordinateurs pour les écoles africaines selon son directeur exécutif, Mme. Shafika Isaacs-Bardien. Et elle ajoute: "Une fois que nous aurons un système établi de gestion et de soutien en place au niveau local, nous serons alors capables de procéder à la distribution de grands volumes d'ordinateurs et des TIC relatives pour l'usage dans les écoles."

SchoolNet Afrique, (www.schoolnetafrica.net), une O.N.G. africaine qui promouvoit l’apprentissage et l’enseignement par l'utilisation des Technologies de l'Information et de Communication (TIC) dans les écoles africaines, vient juste de conclure le développement de son cours de formation intitulé Cours de Formation du Directeur de Centre d’Assistance Technique en association avec l'Institut de Société Ouverte pour l'Afrique Australe (OSISA). Ce cours complet, disponible en anglais et bientôt en français, couvre un ensemble d’activités allant de l'approvisionnement et l’obtention d’ordinateurs (en particulier les ordinateurs d'occasion), à la mise sur pied des centres d’assistance technique comme centres d'entretien et d'assistance, au débaras d’une manière responsable sur le plan environnemental des ordinateurs qui ne peuvent plus être utilisés, selon la perspective africaine.

Deploying the next generation Internet:
ICC statement on the introduction of IPv6
http://www.iccwbo.org/home/electronic_commerce/IPv6.asp

Introduction

ICC is uniquely positioned to encourage business and governments around the world to promote the benefits of a smooth transition from IPv4 to IPv6. Representing Internet users and service providers globally, ICC endorses the rogressive introduction by business of IPv6 and advocates for increased awareness among business and governments on the benefits of IPv6.

IPv6 is the acronym for Internet Protocol version 6. IPv6 is the ‘next generation’ Internet Protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (www.ietf.org) to coexist ith and ultimately replace the current version Internet rotocol, IP version 4 (“IPv4”). Internet Protocol (IP) is a set of technical rules governing how information travels around and can be found on the Internet. IP lets different computers communicate with each other over the communications networks that comprise the Internet.


Every network interface on the Internet has a unique IP number. These numbers are called IP addresses and they can be typed directly into a browser or linked to a named web address such as www.yourcompany.com

IPv4

Today, the Internet relies mostly on IPv4, the version of the Internet Protocol that was specified nearly twenty years ago. IPv4 is still robust, but it supports a relatively limited number of IP numbers. Several factors are driving increased demand for IP numbers:

The number of Internet users increases significantly each year, creating more and more demand for IP addresses. While IPv4 allows for four billion computers on the whole network, IPv6 allows for upwards of 35 trillion interconnected networks.[1] As developing countries work towards bridging the digital divide and increasing their access and connectivity to the Internet, the demand for IP addresses will continue to grow.

Future Internet application developments such as wireless communications, mobile computing and next generation elephony will further increase demand for IP addresses.

The increasing popularity of mobile devices such as mobile phones, portable devices and laptops will also greatly drive demand for IP addresses. Cars and household appliances may also be assigned IP numbers as they too become communications devices.

The availability of IP addresses using IPv4 has been increased through the deployment of dynamic address translation. Furthermore, the integration of IPv6 and the coexistence of IPv6 and IPv4 will be facilitated since new technologies and applications using IPv6 may actually “free-up” some IPv4 addresses as earlier technologies and applications are replaced. The transition from an IPv4-only environment, which began a number of years ago, may continue for an undetermined period of time.

The benefits of IPv6

The new version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6, will enable new capabilities beyond IPv4, including providing greatly increased availability of IP addresses.

The benefits of IPv6 include:

The number of IP addresses available with IPv6 is enormous - 3.4 X 10^38 (i.e. 10 to the power of 38) – and will not be exhausted in the foreseeable future

IPv6 improves the efficiency of the Internet. Simplified packet header information allows for more straightforward and efficient routing of Internet packets. Shorter routing tables are possible because most Internet service providers can receive address space in adjacent blocks, offering greater convenience to their clients and also allowing for a more efficient structure in the Internet’s core routing tables.

IPv6 creates opportunities for new types of services that prioritize Internet traffic flows. It is ‘auto-configurable’, meaning devices like laptops, PDAs and Mobile phones can be given their own unique IP addresses easily and without delay. This will simplify the installation and maintenance of home, vehicle and small office networks.

IPv6 improves security by facilitating network-level security. It has security services at the IP-layer as a ‘native’ feature (i.e. IPSec includes the following capabilities: data origin authentication, rejection of replayed packets, and encryption). Also, allowing each communications device to have its own unique IP number facilitates ‘end-to-end security’, meaning that an entire communication session can be conducted securely rather than just the parts that use a virtual private network.

IPv6 provides the basis for continued technical innovation in communications technologies.

Challenges in IPv6 deployment

As with the upgrade of any network, computer or related technology, deploying IPv6 generates costs, interoperability and resource issues for Internet stakeholders.

Network routing and related Internet architecture equipment will need to be upgraded or modified to accommodate IPv6 128 bit addressing (as compared to 32 bit for IPv4).

Although the number of IPv6-enabled Internet applications is constantly increasing, not all applications are presently engineered to work in an IPv6 environment.

Having both protocols coexist in Internet architecture as IPv6 continues to be deployed generates integration and interoperability costs and challenges.

These issues may require Internet stakeholders to prioritize and concentrate their continued IPv6 implementation where it is most needed and will have the greatest benefit.

The path forward

It is in the interests of all Internet users that the Internet continue to evolve and thrive. IPv6 is an important step in this regard.

The integration of IPv6 does not have a hard deadline like, for example, the system changes forY2K did. IPv6 will coexist with IPv4 for a number of years. However, it is still essential that IPv6 deployment be prioritized to ensure that it occurs and that interworking of IPv6 and IPv4 be accommodated.

Governments should not mandate IPv6 transition. Rather, this transition will occur in gradual stages that allow consumers, business and governments to adopt IPv6. Businesses and governments each have an important role to play in ensuring a smooth and timely evolution with IPv6.

Recommended business actions

In order to continue forward progress in the transition to IPv6, minimize deployment costs, and enable innovative new applications to be developed, it is essential that business and governments understand the benefits and challenges of IPv6. First priorities should include analysis, testing and planning initiatives to ensure the interoperability of IPv4 and IPv6 during a period of smooth coexistence and transition.

Business should take advantage of scheduled equipment and software upgrades and develop a timeline, programme and procedures to upgrade Internet servers and relevant devices to IPv6, recognizing that the upgrade will require costs and impose burdens. This demonstration of leadership by business will encourage other Internet stakeholders and underline the value IPv6 brings to the Internet.

Business must recognize that the security and stability of the existing network is an essential requirement in the transition period when IPv4 and IPv6 will coexist.

Business should continue its efforts to improve government and consumer awareness of the importance and benefits of IPv6, for example, through initiatives such as the IPv6 Forum (http://www.ipv6forum.org/), a consortium of vendors, which organizes information events around the world to increase awareness and promote the adoption of IPv6.

Business should continue to provide expert input into the technical coordination bodies responsible for developing and overseeing IP and its related protocols, particularly the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). This input will help ensure that as new technologies develop, they are compatible with and take advantage of IPv6.

Recommended government actions

Private sector leadership in the technical coordination of the Internet has been responsible for its continued and successful global development. Governments are encouraged to take action to support IPv6 deployment, recognizing that market forces, not government intervention, should be the main driving force for deploying IPv6.

Imposing government-mandated standards or timelines would be an unhelpful approach since this might inhibit targeted deployment efforts or result in inefficient use of limited resources. Government initiatives supporting industry efforts to overcome implementation challenges and increase awareness and prioritization of IPv6 are likely to be more productive and in accordance with the principle of technological neutrality.

Governments should work to increase awareness of IPv6 and its benefits.

Governments should support the integration of IPv6 and the coexistence of IPv4 and IPv6 to address user needs, including planning initiatives.

Governments should avoid mandated standards or legal requirements, and ensure that their policies on IPv6 implementation do not impose deadlines.

Governments should continue to promote technology neutrality and choice, allowing Internet stakeholders to use new and existing technologies and applications of their choice.

Governments should support relevant research and development to ensure a smooth and effective integration of IPv6 and associated technologies.

Conclusion

The deployment of IPv6 requires a significant planning and awareness-raising effort by business and governments in the medium term. The benefits of the introduction of IPv6 will accrue to all Internet users well into the future. ICC encourages business and governments to maximize and coordinate their efforts so that all Internet users will benefit from the increased efficiency and opportunities IPv6 offers.

PRESS RELEASE PAN-AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT IMPERATIVES FOR BUSINESS, ECONOMY AND SOCIETY ACCELERATED THROUGH SATELLITE-BASED INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ADVANCE ‘Best practice’ briefing and discussion sessions on bridging Africa’s digital divide facilitated by global satellite association at Information and Communication Technology Development Hub; Key regional conference theme of “Developing Partnerships to Mainstream Africa’s ICT Industry” supported by GVF-organised Telecommunications Operators Forum 25 May 2004 LONDON & MAURITIUS – Developing Partnerships to Mainstream Africa’s ICT Industry is the theme of the Sixth Annual African Computing and Telecommunications Summit (ACT 2004), taking place over 7-9 September at CyberCity, Mauritius, the Information and Communications Technology Development Hub for Africa and the Indian Ocean. This year, building on its strategic relationship with the GVF – the global association of the satellite telecommunications industry – the organisers of ACT are working with the association (www.gvf.org) to facilitate a rare discussion and networking opportunity for the telecommunications carriers, or PTTs, from across the African continent. Satellite-based communications provides the only effective breakthrough from the bottleneck that is the under development of telecommunications services throughout much of Africa – under development that has been effectively caused by: • Low disposable incomes (and outright poverty), and consequential disincentives to telecommunications operators to actually provide reliable services; • Lack of competition and therefore lack of infrastructure investment; • And, the fragmentation of a continent into many national markets which are devoid of economies of scale. Yet, from the greatest cities to the smallest villages, access to information through low cost telecommunications connectivity is an imperative for the economic and social development of Africa. Recognising this imperative, the non-profit and non-partisan satellite industry association – the GVF – has organised a Telecommunications Operators Forum, a programme of briefing and discussion sessions for the African telecommunication carriers community, to take place over the 7th, 8th and 9th September 2004. The sessions will address key issues regarding the world of connectivity solutions from satellite-based technology and will offer examples of ‘best practice’ in the creation of strategies for satellite terminal deployment, network roll-out and sustainable application development. That ‘best practice’ strategies for aiding access to ICTs through satellites benefit indigenous businesses in encouraging improved investment conditions, and also benefit national governments through a stronger tax base, is implicitly recognised in the Catalysing Access to Internet in Africa project. CATIA is a three-year programme of the British Government’s Department for International Development (DfID) and reflects the strong ground swell of opinion that the Millennium Development Goals will only be achieved by using Information and Communication Technologies. This is also the emphasis placed on ICTs in the recent World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) and in the targets of the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD). The GVF is one of the partner organisations in the CATIA project, and an update on the progress and implications of CATIA will be included in the briefing sessions comprising the Telecommunications Operators Forum. Opportunities for tens of thousands of new telecommunications entrepreneurs across Africa continue to advance with the increased availability of lower price satellite bandwidth all across the continent. In addition, current downward price trends for both satellite terminals and Internet access can only continue as potential economies of scale come on-stream. Such potential developments will also be examined during the Forum briefings, considered from the perspective of: • The perceptions of telecommunications operators of new market dynamics; • The opportunities of increased competition in more liberalised contexts; • Understanding the necessities of UAO/USO and the implications of VoIP over satellite; • The provision of essential applications for the corporate sector and the enterprise space; for government, education and healthcare; and for the development sector. The GVF Telecommunications Operators Forum will bring together senior decision-making representatives from PTTs from across the continent, with particular emphasis on telecommunications carriers from the PTTs Group of the SADC nations. Also attending will be senior executives from Africa’s sub-regional organisations of telecommunications regulators, including: TRASA – the Telecommunications Regulators Association of Southern Africa; WATRA – the West African Telecommunications Regulators Association; and, EARPTO – the East Africa Regulatory Post and Telecommunication Organisation.

Mauritius CyberCity selected as venue for ACT 2004 7-9 September 2004 The sixth annual African Computing & Telecommunications Summit (ACT 2004) is to be held at the impressive new CyberTower being constructed in Mauritius as the key element of the island state's drive to become an ICT development hub for Africa and the Indian Ocean. AITEC has been invited by the Act ICT Industry Alliance of Mauritius to hold the next ACT Summit in Mauritius due to the attendance it will attract from ICT professionals and managers from throughout Africa, as well as other international participation, thus promoting the country's position as a supplier of ICT services and expertise. The theme of the Summit will be "Developing Partnerships to Mainstream Africa's ICT Industry." Welcoming AITEC's decision to hold the Summit in Mauritius, Viv Padayatchy, Chairman of the Association of Internet Service Providers (FAIR) and Secretary of the Mauritius ICT Alliance, called on industry counterparts across Africa to use the Summit as an opportunity to pool knowledge and experience to promote the continent on the international stage. "Although some of us may land up competing for the same outsourcing work, the potential market is huge and expanding. We will all benefit from increased skills levels across the region, as well as improved perceptions of the continent's ICT capacity. I'm confident that companies attending ACT 2003 will find that co-operation and alliances, rather than competition, will be the order of the day." AITEC will hold the event in partnership with Publi-Promo, the leading exhibition company in Mauritius. The following will be the key streams within the Summit: Ø Business Process Outsourcing Forum Ø Knowledge Sharing Ø The African Open Source Forum, is associate with the Free & Open Source Foundation for Africa Ø eGovernment Forum in association with the UN Economic Commission for Africa Ø ICT Policy & Telecoms Regulation Ø Telecommunication Operators Forum Ø ICT for Development The ACT Summit has been held in the UK, South Africa, Kenya and Nigeria in previous years.

Given the current media swirl in the US relating to the FCC decisions on VoIP and the WiFi issue in Africa, bridges.org have written a short commentary looking at the benefits of this technology in relation to the developing world. We thought you might be interested in this.

RESTRICTING VoIP AND WiFi COSTS SOUTH AFRICA ITS POSITION AS A TECHNOLOGY LEADER IN AFRICA

25 May 2004
Commentary written by bridges.org in collaboration with the East and Southern Africa Centre for International ICT Policy (ESA-CIP)

South Africa is celebrating ten years of democracy -- a period during which the country has shown progressive leadership, including explicitly targeting information and communications technology (ICT) as an enabler of socio-economic development. In its re-election campaign this year, the Government promised to focus on poverty alleviation and job creation. But, ironically, the Government's legislative efforts affecting new technologies like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) are actually working against the development goals it seeks to achieve.

On one hand, the South African Government has taken unparalleled steps in forming national and international advisory councils to advise President Mbeki on how to extend the benefits of ICT to all citizens. However, existing telecommunications and convergence policies are not keeping pace with technological progress, and communications costs remain high as a result. Moreover, the Government has failed to provide a coherent legislative framework for ICT. Unless the Government aligns its intentions and actions it may undermine the country's position as a technology leader in Africa.

One example is South Africa's strategy to create jobs by enticing international call centres to the country. These centres -- common in places like India -- provide outsourced services using high bandwidth connections and VoIP platforms. VoIP converts calls to data and carries them like messages on any data network (including the Internet), which lowers costs, but can threaten the earnings of traditional telecommunications providers. Call centres provide telephone support services to developed countries from their bases in developing countries where labour is cheap, bringing cash to local economies. VoIP can also support socio-economic development more generally by bringing the benefits of efficient data network use and lowered call costs to individual consumers, small businesses, government agencies, and community organisations. Yet existing legislation that limits the use of VoIP in South Africa stifles advances in this area.

South African law also inhibits the use of WiFi technologies that could help bring the Internet to under-serviced communities. WiFi creates a high-bandwidth network using certain radio frequency transmissions that cover short distances. It is cheap to implement, largely because it does not require traditional wire infrastructure, and can be used to extend the reach of telecommunications and "backbone" Internet connectivity at low cost. And this in turn offers an effective channel for the delivery of many development services to under-serviced and rural communities. But it also jeopardises telecommunications profits.

Developing countries and communities with low telephone penetration stand to benefit the most from the introduction of new technologies like VoIP and WiFi. Gone are the days of voice traffic over traditional copper wire (which is often stolen), and separate cabling for data transmissions. There are huge cost savings to be gained in under-serviced communities by rolling out technologies that allow for both voice and data services on a single, combined, cost-effective network. Moreover, until recently VoIP and WiFi were only available to people with access to personal computers, but technology advances are extending this reach. For example, WiFi can be used to connect handheld devices to the Internet. And instead of requiring a computer with VoIP software, now people can use a regular telephone handset to dial to an intermediate computer connected to the Internet that will convert their call to VoIP.

Across the continent, other African countries are moving to the forefront. Algeria, Mauritius, Mali, Nigeria and Kenya have legalised VoIP and WiFi. For example, the Algerian Government recently approved several Internet Service Providers to use VoIP to legally compete on international calls. Prior to this, only the incumbent telecommunications operator was allowed to offer international call services, costing six times more. These progressive governments are boldly embracing new technologies to gain the long-term benefits of ICT, despite potential short-term losses in revenue as incumbent telecommunications providers restructure their approaches.

Currently, the provision of VoIP services in South Africa is only allowed in areas where less than five percent of the population have access to a telephone. The Government maintains that such restrictions will encourage companies to provide telephone service to these outlying regions and thereby rectify the imbalance in technology access between modern, urban hubs and under-serviced and rural communities. WiFi is also restricted to use by individuals or organisations within the confines of their own premises. So "hotspots" are okay, but connecting offices across town is not. In South Africa, it appears as if Government policy-makers either do not understand the development potential offered by these technologies, or they are just not ready to let go of the entrenched revenue streams from Telkom's stranglehold on the market.

Nonetheless the use of these effective, cheap technologies is growing in South Africa -- albeit illegally -- including in different spheres of government. For example, local government agencies are connecting remote departments with WiFi networks that are well-suited to carry VoIP calls. Their existence is no secret, with public tenders in the local media calling for the installation and maintenance of these systems.

Removing restrictions and allowing competition to thrive in the communications sector will lead to greater choice, lower prices, and the proliferation of innovative services. This will in turn benefit the development needs of under-serviced and rural communities, where communication services are prohibitively expensive, as well as the corporate needs of businesses wanting to enter the value-added network market. All that is holding back the unlimited provision of VoIP services in South Africa is the public announcement of a date, at the Minister of Communication's discretion, from which VoIP will be legal. This is a seemingly easy step, yet one not taken. Consequently, business leaders, development practitioners and the ordinary consumer alike are suffocating under an artificial constraint on telecommunications growth.

And in the meantime the South African Government, with all its right intentions, is increasingly losing its position at the technological forefront in Africa. An apparent reluctance to embrace new technologies must not be allowed to hinder the creation of jobs and wealth for the people of South Africa. Every citizen should understand the socio-economic development potential of new technologies, and call upon the Government to drive the changes needed to allow their widespread use. Unless the South African Government alters its course in this area, during the next election voters may well be asking why the Government has not delivered on its promises.
