    Learn about the programme led by ITU to establish a replicable national model for advancing AI and robotics education in five pilot countries: Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. Implemented Giga and AI for Good with support from Google and the I Am Angel Foundation, this project enhances Giga’s efforts to transform schools into environments that promote continuous learning and innovation, while also emphasising the development of AI skills and educational ecosystems across the continent through the AI Skills Coalition. Giga is a joint initiative of ITU and UNICEF that provides government with support towards connecting every school to the Internet and every young person to information, opportunity and choice. This programme builds on Giga’s government partnerships and data-driven approach, as well as AI for Good’s global expertise in AI and digital skills training.
