Design: OVF
ODL is a cooperative effort of various NGOs including
those who are officially chartered as OVF affiliates.
This Progrmam will be implemented as oneVillage
Initiative Holistic ICT for Eco-living and Learning
Program a joint-venture partnership with oneVillage
Foundation (OVF) partners operating in US, Kenya,
Ghana and Nigeria and other countries. This program
will build on other efforts already in progress
including our in-house CatchITYoung Prorgam In
Ghana.
The goal is to develop a full immersion education
program that complements and augments conventional
learning programs. This will include hands on
experiments that will cultivate critical as well
as whole systems thinking that challengers preconceived
notions of reality.
Management: This program will
be designed to be self-managing joint venture
with the OVF EcoPartners taking an active role
in the management of this program. An Executive
Committee will be made up of full members of the
program which may include non-OVF affiliate members
but will require a commiment to OVF financial
self-sustainability which includes certain OVF
objectives such as Unity Center Development and
incubations services. An Advisory Board (GAB)
consisting of external members, leaders in education,
science, industry, and public policy, will advise
the executive committe of this program on Program
issues, particularly those related to ecological
,social and economic sustainability of the program.
