The Vice President stressed that these skills are crucial for women and girls to take advantage of opportunities in the digital economy. She also highlighted the government's efforts to expand digital skills training, including a new partnership with Huawei to provide artificial intelligence training to 3,000 girls under the Girls in ICT programme.",
