Heureux d’avoir partagé ma vision du numérique dans cet entretien accordé au journal La Nation . Je suis convaincu que le numérique doit devenir à #Djibouti un véritable instrument de souveraineté, mais aussi une opportunité concrète pour notre jeunesse, nos entrepreneurs et l’avenir de notre économie. À travers Connect Djibouti, nous voulons contribuer à construire un écosystème digital plus inclusif, innovant et tourné vers l’action. Merci à La Nation pour cet échange autour des enjeux de la transformation numérique de notre pays.

#GirlsinICT Day reminds us that the future of technology is not something girls should wait to be invited into, it’s something they are already building. Meet our Metilda, #PAYAIG Ambassador 2023 and founder of @sheworks8. Her journey is a powerful example @unwomentanzania
Meet @MatildaMashauri. After the @AGCCIAfrica_1 coding camp, she and her fellow alumni founded She Works In Tech (@SHEWORKS8), an organization that equips girls in schools with digital skills and inspires them to explore technology. On #GirlsInICT Day, we celebrate Matilda and girls like her shaping a more inclusive digital future.
