A new stage in the rollout of the "10,000 Coders" project: Mali. On the initiative of the country's Ministry of Digital Economy, Douglas Mbiandou, founder of Objis, and Bamako Incubator have launched the "10,000 Coders" project in Mali.
The 10,000 Coders project has been developed by Douglas Mbiandou since 2015. The project aims to train more than 10,000 web and mobile application developers in Africa between 2015 and 2025. The goal is to combat youth unemployment while making the continent the world's leading supplier of developers, thanks to its demographic bonus.
According to Douglas Mbiandou, the project's initiator: "The global shortage of digital expertise is an unprecedented opportunity for African youth, and the '10,000 Coders' project acts as an intermediary between these young people and the digital industry. We raise awareness, train, promote, and integrate young people into digital professions."
Mali is therefore marking a new stage in the rollout of this pan-African project, supported by several local players such as the Institute of Applied Sciences
(ISA), the Faculty of Science and Technology
(FST-USTTB), and the National Council of Employers of Mali
. The development of "10,000 Coders Mali" is a response to the challenges of empowering young people and women in Mali through digital professions in general, and coding in particular.
