| Biographie |
I am called Ouédraogo Sylvestre. I was born in 1966 in a small village in North of Burkina Faso. I am lecturer in economy at the University of Ouagadougou. I give courses in Food and Nutritional Policies; the Evaluation of the Projects of Development and Computer Sciences at the University. I'm also ICT4D expert, coordinator of Local Information and Exchange Networking and President of Yam Pukri. I'm Writer too and my last book is "Computer and the Djembe, between dreams and Realities", Harmattan, 2003.
My passion is however sciences applied. I am interested indeed in all that is application of science for the benefit of the projects in the countries in the process of development. Thus I was a President of the Club Jeune Science of my college and later coordinator of Club
UNESCO of Kadiogo until 1988 .
After my doctorate in 1996, I started again to work in the associative field, but this time by creating an association which is called YAM PUKRI(http://www.yam-pukri.org) which in local language MOORE means Open your mind.
This association has as principal objectives training, popularization and the advise in new technologies (computer and Internet). To date, 6 centers of formation were create and we add
up more than 3000 people trained since 1998.
YAM PUKRI association is a pioneer in the field of ICT’s association in Burkina Faso. He has partnership with several organizations in the world and more mainly Terre des Hommes, Genève in the area the training of the young people to new technologies. Activities such as forums of exchange are also organized each year and makes it possible to young people to exchange with Suisses young people, Senegalese and Malagasy.
YAM PUKRI took part in several international meetings in the field of new technologies.
In 2002, YAM PUKRI concluded an agreement from partnership with IICD and within this framework, we created a Local Information and Exchange Networking (LIEN).This network, although realises several activities as a dynamic Web site which puts weekly the news of ICT’s in a website and carried out a quarterly newspaper which reiterates the main part of the documents which are on the Web site.
The network called Burkina-NTIC (http://www.burkina-ntic.org) has as an ambition to be used as network of exchange for the organizations of the civil society in the field of the sharing of experiments and knowledge on ICT’s. That is very important because the weakness of the knowledge in quality and quantity invites us to look for best way to work better. Networking is a good way for sharing.
I have different roles on ICT fields in Burkina Faso
1- I teach ICT (theory in practices)at university of Ouagadougou (i'm a lecturer)
2 – i 'm the executive President of Yam Pukri
3 – i'm the Information Networking Coordinator
I'm a member of Internet Commission(government) and the advisor on governments CT policies
I'm a writer too. I publish a book and do research on ICT's
In 2003, i make few contribution to a books, one with IUED (Hight school in Geneva) and one with Panos London. (Copying with poverty, in Panos report N° 48, Completing the revolution, the challenge in rural Telephony in Africa, Panos Institute, London.(www.panos.org.uk).
I work now for 2 books on ICT with other autors.
So, you see, I have different roles and enjoy to work for ICT4D.
