The African Development Bank, AfDB, and technology giant Intel have formalised their cooperation to equip 3 million Africans and 30,000 government officials with AI skills.
The partnership aims to transform the African digital ecosystem, according to a statement released by the Bank.
Sealed at the recent African Development Bank’s Annual Meetings in Nairobi, Kenya, the deal will help create a critical mass of Africans proficient in Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) skills to accelerate growth and productivity and position Africans as contributors, not just consumers of 4IR.
AfDB added that the training will address socio-economic challenges and boost productivity in key growth sectors such as agriculture, health, and education, thereby disrupting traditional growth cycles.
