The 5 Million Ethiopian Coders Initiative we launch today is a great opportunity to bridge the digital skills gap. The initiative is part of the national Digital Ethiopia 2025 strategy.
The project is designed to benefit five million citizens with digital technology training. By 2026, the program aims to equip five million Ethiopian youth with foundational digital skills in Web Programming, Android Development, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence.
My greatest gratitude goes to the government of the United Arab Emirates for the partnership in this large scale capacity-building project.
