Abstract

The pervasive presence of the internet and the commonality of mobile devices for communication technology have changed modalities for information exchange. Recent developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have specific implications regarding dissemination of information among youth, as exemplified by the Arab spring. The opportunity of those emerging technologies should be seized upon. ICT platforms should be used to scale-up policies and programmes that promote the sexual and reproductive health of youth due to their low cost, increased access to remote populations, better efficiency and improved flexibility for programming. Successful models should be identified through programme evaluation. (Afr J Reprod Health 2012 (Special Edition); 16[2]: 197-205).

Résumé

L’omniprésence de l’internet et la popularité des appareils mobiles pour la technologie de communication ont changé les modalités pour l’échange d’informations. Les développements récents dans la technologie de l’information (TIC) ont des implications spécifiques en matière de diffusion de l’information chez les jeunes, comme en témoigne le printemps arabe. Ces technologies émergentes devraient être utilisées bien plus souvent en vue des possibilités qu’elles offrent. Les plates-formes TIC devraient être utilisées pour intensifier le développement des et des programmes qui favorisent la santé sexuelle et de reproduction des jeunes en raison de leur faible coût, un accès accru aux populations les plus isolées, une meilleure efficacité et une flexibilité améliorée pour la programmation. Les modèles réussis devraient être identifiés à travers l’évaluation des programmes (Afr J Reprod Health 2012 (Special Edition); 16[2]: 197-205).
