Young people and community members in Theodore Care Point have begun receiving new digital skills training following the launch of an AI and Digital Literacy Programme led by the Ministry of Information Communications and Technology in partnership with UNESCO, The Global Seed Foundation and Theodore Care Point.

The launch took place earlier today and brought together government representatives, development partners and local stakeholders working to expand technology access in rural Eswatini. The programme is designed to support children and community members with essential skills needed in a rapidly changing digital world.
