Participating countries
As the main implementing partner, the Camden Education Trust helps SAP and partners scale the initiative across the continent in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals we serve:
Like-minded partners
We managed the Public-Private Partnerships that are key to the initiative’s sustainable impact.
No child left behind
We strived to expand our reach to all youth across the 54 African countries.
It takes a village
to raise a child
We supported the volunteer Ambassador network in charge of engaging Ministries and training teachers who would in turn train students.
We managed all ACW financials and local grant making cycles.
Great content for all
We produced all the education content for both teachers and students in four languages. We oversaw the development and rollout of the ACW App.
The #Power of #Together
Valuable partnerships with organizations that specialize in building local digital skills capacity are one of Africa Code Week’s greatest strengths.”
