SAFER INTERNET CHALLENGES

Inadequate feedback from the students as most of them were in boarding school and had limited access to their phones and internet.

Students were unable to speak up and share their online experiences due to the presence of their teachers

Due to lack of consistency in enhancing teenager’s knowledge in technology and lack of IT departments in most schools, most teenagers are less interested in building their digital skills.

Late introduction of IT to teenagers which likely leads to lack of interest in safer internet activities.

Time and funds inadequacy

SAFER INTERNET RECOMMENDATIONS

Incorporation of internet safety trainings in school curriculum

Creating Safer Internet school clubs in enhance students involvements in safer internet activities

Ensuring that all individual part of safer internet program are carried along during project document creation

RECOMMENDATIONS

Contract journalists from different media houses to be part of all PPDC activities.

Ensure that a communication officer is present in every official meetings pertaining to any project in PPDC.

Subscribe with a platform that performs comprehensive social media analytics for detailed collation of information.

CONCLUSION

It is evident from this evaluation that the communications team spent more time promoting procurement governance activities as opposed to other projects. This is attributed to the high demand on increased

engagement around procurement governance activities and an increase of activities in procurement Governance In 2018, we would

assign a principal communication officer to each project to enable consistent promotion of all activities across programmes.
