Extending the Award with the Orange Foundation
Support from the Orange Foundation is helping us to extend the Award Programme in our Africa region with particular attention given to the development of the Award within Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire and Madagascar. Our partnership will also have an emphasis on reaching young women and disadvantaged communities through the Award Programme and seeks to make a dramatic difference to the lives of thousands of young people in these three countries over the next three years.
Raising the Profile with Technical Associates
One of our key strategic objectives is to raise the profile of the Award, which helps us to raise support, and also to extend the reach of the Programme to more young people. Valuable marketing and PR support from Technical Associates Group is helping us to tell the Award story more effectively around the world.
Cadbury Supports Strategic Developments in Africa
Our partnership with the Europe, Middle East and Africa region of Cadbury (EMAE Cadbury) is providing long-term focused support to our Africa region, enabling us to invest in the structure and strategy and hence enrich the lives of more young people. This year, Cadbury are sponsoring the National Directors' Conference to be held in Accra, Ghana in August 2008. The conference will bring together all national directors to focus on regional strategy, challenges, development and vision as well as building relations between the 21 national programmes.
"As a youth development programme, we saw the Award as an opportunity to involve young people in our business, to interact with the communities and enhance the culture of community work and sharing in the business."
