SAVANNA SIGNATURES

BACKGROUND

Savana Signatures (SavSign) is a Non-Governmental Organization that has developed keen interest in the empowerment of children and women. This is done mainly through and with the use of Information and Communication Technologies. Realising that the development as a Nation and the North in particular will be much swifter when the development of the minds of the youth and women becomes a fundamental resource, Savana Signatures seeks to groom the youth in this direction.

Savana signatures started in 2005 as Northern Information Network for Schools (NINS) in the Savelugu Nanton District. It was to help bridge the digital divide by training, creating awareness and sharing knowledge on Information and Communication Technology tools. With the growing complexities of human development and the emergence of new technologies, NINS saw the need to expand its scope in terms of operations and activities to cover Northern Ghana, hence, the change in name from NINS to SavSign.

TARGET GROUPS/BENEFICIARIES

Savana Signatures, targets the youth of the North who are either abusing the internet or left totally behind in this digital warfare.

The participation of women and girls in information and communication technology in northern has been a major concern for stakeholders in development. Women and girls are therefore seen as primary target group to help bridge the digital gap between men and women.
