Digital Transformation
Why This Program
To equip young women with digital literacy skills and enhance their active participation in the digital economy. Background and Context Rwanda has made significant progress in promoting women's and girls' education across various fields, including STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This progress has enhanced digital literacy, innovation, and creativity in business activities. However, the application of these skills in decision-making, both at personal and professional levels, remains low among young women. Addressing this gap is essential to ensure that young women actively contribute to the digital economy and leverage their skills for sustainable development.
