Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has launched today the 5 million Ethiopian Coders Initiative, the large-scale capacity-building project for the country’s youth.

The Prime Minister shared on social media pages that Ethiopia has hope through a forward-thinking youth population.

‘The 5 million Ethiopian Coders Initiative we launch today is a great opportunity and I call upon everyone to encourage the youth to register for the program, gain skills, and acquire international certification,’ he underscored.

The premier also appreciated the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for its partnership in this capacity-building initiative.

‘My greatest gratitude goes to the government of the United Arab Emirates for the partnership in this large-scale capacity-building project. These 5 million coders will not only create innovative local solutions but also become a beacon of hope for our continent.’
