The Site Management Committee (SMC) at Blessed Daudi Okelo & Jildo Irwa ICT Centre in Pader recently participated in a dynamic digital literacy training program, designed to empower them with the digital tools and knowledge essential for effective site management. This mixed-gender training focused on building the digital capabilities of committee members to enhance their leadership and operational efficiency.
Key Training Components:
- Foundational Digital Skills: The program began with a focus on basic computer skills, ensuring that all participants, regardless of their prior experience, could confidently navigate computer systems, manage files, and understand key functionalities.
- Mastering Office Applications: Participants engaged in hands-on sessions with Microsoft Office applications, such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. These sessions were tailored to the practical needs of the SMC, enabling them to create, manage, and present critical documents and reports efficiently.
- Internet Savvy and Communication: Training included effective internet usage for research and communication, emphasizing the importance of reliable information sources and clear, professional email correspondence.
- Safeguarding Digital Information: With cybersecurity being a critical concern, the training addressed best practices for protecting sensitive data, recognizing online threats, and ensuring the security of digital communications.
This program was carefully crafted to align with the specific responsibilities of the SMC, providing them with the skills necessary to manage the ICT Centre’s operations and contribute to its success. By the end of the training, participants were not only more digitally proficient but also better equipped to lead and innovate in their roles.

Looking Ahead: As the SMC moves forward, members are encouraged to apply the digital skills gained to improve the efficiency and impact of their site management activities. Continued learning and development will be supported through ongoing resources and future training opportunities.
Expanding Horizons: In addition to core digital skills, the training introduced participants to Twitter as a powerful tool for communication and engagement.
