To bridge the gender digital divide as well as promote women(teachers) and

girls’(students)representation and participation in today’s digitally connected world and to help
make that better life possible by removing barriers to education and creating sustainable change
for girls and women around the globe, Our digital skill intervention program will provide
interventions across a combined 9 months training program using a digital device with inbuilt
curriculum that responds adequately to the digital learning needs of both young women and
girls in building digital competence and acquiring digital skills through a rigorous skill-based
learning approach, with a distinctive peculiarity in the scope, content, and delivery of skills
programming. The participants are aged 9-35, 50 school girls and 30 female teachers in Agbani
local government Enugu State Nigeria.
2. Today, over 90% of jobs worldwide already have a digital component and most jobs will soon
require sophisticated digital skills but unfortunately, by 2030, more than half of all young people
will not have the basic digital skills necessary for the workforce of the future. As the accelerated
adoption of online learning continues and the use of digital technologies for daily activities
become a norm, the apparent digital skills gap is having untold effects on the most marginalized
population especially women and adolescent girls. Despite the pronounced significance of
digital skills as vital building blocks for participation in the digital world, almost one billion girls
around the world (i.e. 65% of all girls and young women under 24) lack these skills. As a matter
of fact,, lack of basic digital literacy – including the skills to functionally be able to use the
Internet and digital technology, as well as the knowledge of how to do so safely – is a
fundamental barrier to internet adoption and to the development of the digital economy. So,
while the digital skills gap is evident across regional boundaries and income levels, it is more
severe for adolescent girls and women who are older, less educated, poor, or living in rural
areas and developing countries. Through our program, we will be supporting young women and
girls aged 9-35 in building digital awareness, competence and digital skills required to leverage
digital tools and platforms for learning and or socio-economic advancement. Unarguably, giving
women and girls access to the Internet and the skills to use digital technologies provides them
the opportunity to access the benefit of our digitally connected world.
