Digital Inclusion for Detainees and Staff of the Kafanchan Correctional Center with Fantsuam
Through this project we facilitate digital literacy training to detainees and staff members to ensure better transition to general society.
Project status: Ongoing
Country: Nigeria
Partner: Fantsuam Foundation
Impact goal: 40 detainees and 10 staff members
About the project
Correctional Centers can cause physical, mental health, and psychological stress, as well as increased likelihood of recidivism and further alienation from the general society. The seclusion and lack of provision of adequate intellectual stimulation of offenders at the Correctional Center is not conducive for achieving positive behavioral changes. However, when ICT development opportunities are extended to such populations, their integration into the larger society can be better assured. This project will facilitate higher levels of digital literacy for 40 detainees and 10 staff members of the Kafanchan Correctional Center. This pilot project will provide a proof of concept that can be used for advocacy. The advocacy efforts will be for a roll-out of such capacity building opportunities across the 240 correctional centers across Nigeria.
