Building on the success of TechSis 2023, the first edition of its tech initiative aimed at empowering girls and women with digital skills to assume their rightful place at the heights of the digital economy,Whereas the first edition targeted 500 women from across Africa and focused on coding, the second edition is looking to train 1,000 women from Nigeria on web development and data analytics at the cost of N321 million or $250,000.
Minister of Women Affairs, Barr Uju Kennedy Ohanenye, is delighted with the partnership with GetBundi, saying it “will provide our women and young girls with cutting edge on digital application and other computer-based solutions that will put them at par with their contemporaries in other climes. “We are very optimistic that this initiative will open up new vistas of opportunities for our women to veer into special areas of human endeavour that will acquaint them with prerequisite knowledge and skills to cope with contemporary global trends in ICT.”
“We believe that with conducive platforms, Nigerian women can learn and lead commercial innovations but this female digital exclusion, a situation where women are disproportionately left behind in accessing and using digital technologies and services, is a pervasive problem hindering the realization of fully inclusive digital future and we need to bridge this gap,” she said.
“The women are here, the hunger to learn is there, just the opportunity and that is what GetBundi Education Foundation is presenting to women across Africa,” he had said.
