MTN Cameroon and the African Institute of Computer Science have launched a training program to equip refugees and less privileged local inhabitants with digital skills.

MTN’s Digital Academy debuted in Abong Mbang, East Region of Cameroon, as part of the company’s contribution to improving the digital literacy rate and boosting financial inclusion. The training will be extended to AICS-Cameroon centres in Mbalmayo, Ebolowa, Garoua, Bafang, Ngaoundere, Maroua and Mokolo.

MTN believes the digital divide in Cameroon is breeding digital illiteracy and is eager to provide people in remote areas the requisite skills needed to become familiar with the opportunities in digital technology.
