Digital skills are needed in all fields, beyond the technology niche. There is a need to develop 21st century skills in the next generation so that they can function in a digital economy. One of our partners of the Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth, Eidos Global, has implemented digital-skill programmes in Latin America.

Eidos Global is now planning to expand this programme in Africa and looking for new partners to collaborate together in both Latin America and Africa.
