Female Tech Camp Togo : Nanatechs want to surprise the world

(Togo First) - After being in Kara last month, young high school and college students, women-entrepreneurs and digital lovers are in Lomé since last Monday for the 5th edition of the Female Techcamp. The event is organized by Education Citoyenne et Changement (E2C Togo), a non-profit organization which invests in education, in Togo.

The techcamp can be followed using the hashtag « #FTCLome2018 », or by going to its twitter page. The Female TechCamp TOGO‏  project was launched by the minister of digital economy, Cina Lawson, in the presence of U.S. ambassador, David Gilmour.

This fifth edition is themed “Surprise us girls”. It aims to foster digital inclusion of women and bridge gap between men and women in the sector, thus ensuring the latter’s empowerment.

During the four days over which it will take place, participants will be trained and taught about issues related to e-commerce, new e-payment solutions and methods to secure online transactions. In this framewok will be organized panels, workshops, a fair and various contests.

Already, last Monday, a workshop of blogging involving trendy management tools such as CMS WordPress was held. On Tuesday, nanatechs will be trained to Adobe Illustrator, along another workshop to teach them website creation with HTLM.

Female Tech Camp Togo aligns with the fourth sustainable development goal (SDG 4) for quality in education, SDG 5 (for gender equality and women empowerment) and SDG 10 (to tackle inequalities between countries).
