ITU and Senegal's telecom regulator just locked in a deal at the big telecoms conference in Baku to help young women get into digital commerce. Cosmas Zavazava from ITU and Dahirou Thiam from ARTP signed off on the partnership, which sets up training programs and digital tools for women entrepreneurs trying to break into online business. The project needs internal sign-off at ARTP before it kicks off, but the framework is ready to go.
Thiam said ARTP is basically the engine behind this thing, and the whole point is getting Senegalese women the skills they need to compete in digital trade. Other countries at the conference were apparently taking notes because Senegal's approach seems to be working. The government is treating digitalization like a core economic strategy instead of just throwing buzzwords around.
