Abstract
The Voluntary Service Overseas VSO-Acacia-SchoolNet Internship Programme (V- ASIP) was a pilot project initiated by various Canadian (IDRC/Acacia, Netcorps, VSO Canada) and South African (SchoolNet South Africa) stakeholders. This is an evaluation of the project during the twelve-month period of its implementation (2000). It aims to inform stakeholders of the viability of the programme in order to inform future initiatives at building Information and Communication Technology (ICT) skills among youth in Africa, and South Africa in particular. This is a detailed analysis of successes and challenges of the programme.
