In 2017, the project will target the local youth of the resettled fishing villages, and others who live in remote coastal areas without much access to learning facilities. The project is jointly implemented by a group of diverse partners working toward the benefit of the coastal community. Key activities include ICT & computer sciences training, organizing events to raise awareness about marine conservation, environmental protection, and climate change adaptation.

Vu Minh Tri, General Director of Microsoft Vietnam shared: “With this Project, Microsoft offers a new technology approach which are need based, locally driven activities adapting to situation of disadvantaged youth living in coastal fishing villages who do not have sufficient access to basic ICT education. The Enabling boat does not only bring ICT education to underserved youths but also connecting them to the world”.
Through the awareness raising and capacity building activities, the Project is expected to bring brighter future for coastal beneficiaries in Quang Ninh province and the model will hopefully be replicated to other similar areas in the country.
