Skilling African developers through All In Africa
Blog post from GitHub
All In Africa is an initiative aimed at empowering African developers by providing free open source education, comprehensive training, mentorship, and community engagement opportunities. With Africa poised to become a global tech hub and one of the fastest-growing regions for open source contributions, the program seeks to bridge the diversity gap in technology by equipping Africans with the skills needed to create and contribute to open source projects. The initiative offers structured three-month cohorts twice a year, providing participants with technical training, networking opportunities, and a certificate of completion. Led by Open Source Program Manager Ruth Ikegah, and supported by regional ambassadors across Africa, All In Africa aims to foster innovation and enhance the tech workforce to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global tech landscape.
