UNITAR, the United Nations' training arm, and the Government of Japan have launched the 'Developing Essential Digital Skills' programme. This initiative, open to women and youth from 24 African nations, aims to empower participants with vital skills for the digital economy.

The training is divided into three phases. The first is online training, followed by self-led projects. The final phase focuses on sustainability and community leadership. Applications close on 4 September 2023, and only the strongest candidates will be selected. The entire programme runs for six months, from 4 September 2023 to 29 February 2024, and is offered free of charge.
