Where Girls Rise in Tech: The Story of AGCCI

The African Girls Can Code Initiative (AGCCI) is transforming the futures of young women across Africa by equipping them with essential digital and leadership skills. With over 213 girls trained in Kenya, and many more across the continent, the programme is actively bridging the digital gender gap and preparing a new generation of innovators in coding, cybersecurity, robotics, and AI. The discussions highlight the critical role of the media in inspiring girls, shaping public perceptions, and highlighting policy gaps affecting youth in the digital economy. By telling real stories, amplifying opportunities, and advocating for safer and more inclusive online spaces, the media helps girls envision what is possible and confidently pursue pathways in technology. #AfricanGirlsCanCode #WomenInTech #DigitalInclusion
