My name is Martine Koopman, Sector Developer Education, but also Country Manager of our Ghana Programme at the International Institute of Communication and Development or IICD. Today I will tell you the story of ACDEP and how the youths in Northern Ghana will have better access to sexual and reproductive health information via mobile phones . The story will illustrate the way we work: Needs based, building the capacity of our partner organisations to design, implement, sustain and innovate ICT-based solutions to accelerate their own programmes in health, education, agriculture or Water & Climate Change.
