My mission this week has continued along two main axes: HTML training of some members and supporters of the ACP and the beginning of the study needs association, using the tools of project management provided by DFS. Meanwhile, I also followed the debut of young trainers in office, I had formed the previous two weeks: everything went well, although they tended to go top quickly at the start (which is normal ).
ACP asked me to initiate some members to design websites. Rather than training in the use of specific software type Frontpage or Dreamweaver, I decided to teach them the basics of how this kind of software, they understand the underlying mechanisms and are independent. It is clear that using one of these programs is much simpler and more efficient than programming directly in HTML, so I told them also showed a small free software (NVU) and I brought them a book on this subject. However, mastering the basics of HTML, they can now create their website (s) (s) more flexible and also ensure that it will be viewed correctly around the globe (management problem of accents, etc.)..
In terms of project management, we have built with Mahamadi and two other members of the ACP a problem tree for the association, then a tree of the solutions, before deducting the specific objectives of the association and that the activities proposed to meet these objectives. To summarize, PCA addresses the (vast) problem of socio-economic integration of youth in Burkina Faso. These integration problems are caused by three types of causes:
- high cost of access to education, health, communication;
- offers training and insufficient and inadequate services to the local context;
- insufficient information.
To combat these three cases, ACP envisions a substantial number of shares:
- opening a second internet, in another district of Ouagadougou
- continued organizing computer training;
- introduction a resource center / library for children;
- opening a center for training in dyeing, sewing and soap making for young unwed mothers (pregnant adolescents are in fact rejected by their families, mainly for cultural reasons, and find themselves on the streets with their children, without possibility continue their studies);
- organizing campaigns in first aid and hygiene, harmful effects of female circumcision, and malaria.
We must now continue this study and make a case for funding. Hopefully they will prove useful!

Response to Fabrice:
level health, nothing is free, and there is no social security system.
Education is theoretically free, but students must pay their own school supplies and textbooks. A bit like in France, except that many parents lack the means and it does not seem to help system.
