Out of 118 applications, 76 applications were called for interviews. Then the project selected 56 volunteers to join the programme in 2016. The volunteers were grouped into 20 teams and dispatched to 20 USONETs. Volunteers were dispatched to the USONETs to build capacities on site for 40 days from 19 June to 28 July 2016. Activities carried out by the volunteers are as follows: - Conducting a community needs assessment; - Promoting the USONET; - Training in IT courses (e.g. basic computer use, office applications, web development, photo/video editing, etc.) to USONET administrators and users/people of the community; - Providing regular updates and reports to project team members about their activities, issues and challenges; - Developing the USONET website; - Developing video materials for IT training and for promoting the community; - Building relationships and promoting the network of NIVs among the volunteers and USONET administrators as well as local authorities; - Conducting non-IT activities to support the USONET as required or as deemed appropriate. |
