But when we’ve move to new place, nice space. A lot of peoples know about library, and come here everyday to read books, access to internet, search information…
Nghe an public library.

It is encouraging to know that the discussion on this has begun.

We were all very excited to hear that FAVL-Burkina has been accepted to membership in the Beyond Access Network, and the three person team, which includes the Director of Reading Promotion and Books Division in the Ministry of Culture will be very much looking forward to participating in the regional conference.

BTW, the FAVL national coordinator in Burkina Faso, Koura Donkoui, will be participating in the NEXT Library conference in Denmark, in June 2013.

Let us hope that the youth will make use of these opportunities and become Job creators and not Job seekers hereby creating opportunities for other unemployed youth as job creators.

I am pleased to see that Friends of African Village libraries from Burkina Faso, and the Kampala Public Library and Kampala City council have joined the team. I hope we will be able to establish and strengthen a relation ship with them and the KItengesa Community Library; perhaps give rise to the platform for community libraries in Uganda

Thanks to the project KNOW 44 long-term unemployed people found job in less than a year. The idea of our project was to increase employability and stimulate active job-seeking behaviour of long-term unemployed people in active age through motivational and IT trainings.

]]> Comment on What Beyond Access Learned about Access to Information in Uganda by Musasizi Brenda Musoke http://beyondaccess.net/blog/2013/04/05/what-beyond-access-learned-about-access-to-information-in-uganda/#comment-1476 Musasizi Brenda Musoke Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:25:25 +0000 http://beyondaccess.net/?p=4266#comment-1476 It is gratifying to know that there are so many actors in the field of information service that see the need to disseminate information to even the least advantaged society and are tirelessly looking for ways to make it easily accessible and applicable. This goes to show how much we can achieve through partnership with other information service providers in contributing to development in our communities.
I wish to thank beyond access initiative for all the hard work it is putting into exhibiting how important libraries are in powering communities and steering development.
