Description
The initiative will support the Government of Mozambique's efforts towards digital transition, formalised in the "Strategic Plan for the Information Society" (2019-2028), which operationalises the 2018 "Information Society Policy". The action, formulated with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Higher Education of Mozambique, which formally requested it, aims to promote innovation and digital transformation for the country's inclusive growth, by developing new digital public utility services, promoting digital entrepreneurship and social innovation, and increasing the digital skills of young people, To this end, the initiative will contribute to the definition and implementation of a model of a tech-hub (PTED), which will primarily offer training courses aimed at different targets (users, programmers, workers, with particular attention to girls and persons with disabilities) in the use of digital applications and computer systems, coding (basic and advanced), and other digital skills in line with objectives of the Country's Digital Transformation Plan. The PTED will also act as an incubator and accelerator for start-ups and will host and organise competitions (hackathons) for the development of accessible software to offer citizens improved digital public utility services.
