Cranking Up the Benefits of ICT and Digital Capability

Wanganui CIH is completing recruiting and training for families to be assisted under its seeding funding from the Community partnership Fund.

During May, we will be graduating 10 families from our new partners: Wanganui Intermediate School, Wanganui East School and Wanganui Girls College. Our recruitment and family uptakes have been slower than expected. We are turning this problem into an opportunity to strengthen our project as we know there are plenty of families in Wanganui who don’t have computers at home and connect to the internet and use email from there. StatisticsNZ said 41.6% of Wanganui’s households did not connect to the internet in December 2006. This is 7,092 households.

As we move towards completing our current targeted family numbers we are working on strategies to continue and grow CIH in Wanganui in the future. We are stepping up our collaboration with local organisations to strengthen our advocacy and obtain support to sustain our benefits.

We are pleased to see the release of the draft Digital Strategy 2. It is open for submission until 12 May. This is a great blueprint for a prosperous future and we will be letting them know we support it. We will be recommending the adoption of the Digital communities Action Plan Framework which includes Whole of Town Computers in Homes schemes.

Here is a link to the draft Digital Strategy 2 - We urge you to peruse it and support it by making your own submission
