2023 The African Girls’ Code Initiative (AGCCI) Coding Camp

The African Girls’ Code Initiative (AGCCI) was commissioned by UN Women, the African Union Commission (AUC) and the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The AUC, through the AU Department of Health, Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development (HHSD), the Directorate of Women, Gender and Youth (WGYD) and the Department of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation (ESTI), is providing technical support to this initiative.

The aim is to train and empower a minimum of 2000 girls aged 17 to 25 across Africa to become computer programmers, creators and designers, putting them on the right track to undertake studies and pursue careers in the information, communication and technology (ICT) sectors. The initiative has two key strategies, namely: coding camps and the integration of ICT, coding and gender into national curricula.

The first phase funded by the Government of Denmark was carried out between April 2018 and December 2019 and yielded good results. A second phase was launched in April 2022 by UN Women and its partners (AUC, ITU, ECA,UNESCO) with financial support from the Government of Belgium to ensure African girls benefit and contribute to the technological revolution in their countries and the continent.
