The problem

Lack of quality IT education for girls, aged 14 to 18, especially in remote and rural areas of Uzbekistan, which is further complicated by the low level of digital literacy. 

The solution

The Innovation, Technology and Strategy Center provides educational online courses focused on IT for girls in Uzbekistan. The project also provides opportunities for girls from remote areas to access training programmes via an e-platform, followed by information about job opportunities. 

 

Impact

The team aims to promote the quality education SDG goal by improving the quality of IT education in Uzbekistan and raising awareness about available opportunities. Decreasing the digital gap between girls and boys, and gender inequalities, is the main expected impact. The project aims to engage more than 50 000 girls. 

What they're saying about BOOST

The BOOST programme was a valuable contribution to the activities of our center. The modules which were included allowed us to carefully construct our project and to identify key points.
