Asikana Network will be in charge of instructing eZibo’s basic curriculum. It will also instruct Facebook’s lessons on safety and manage the resources available to learners. The program will be a 2 hr/day session after-school hours between September and December 2019 where the set of materials provided by Asikana Network and Facebook will be delivered.

Emilar Gandhi, Head of Public Policy for the SADC region at Facebook said, “the Internet is a gateway to a world of economic opportunities, educational possibilities and friendships for many young Zambians.”

“It is also important for them to learn how to protect their personal information and to safeguard themselves online. Increasing awareness and ensuring that young people feel empowered is important and something we’re committed to”, he added.
