2. Providing training and mentorship: Offering training and mentorship opportunities to help girls develop skills in ICT.

3. Addressing the gender digital gap: Working to reduce the gap in digital literacy and access to technology between girls and boys.

The Ministry has made significant progress in implementing the program, with over 12,000 girls trained in basic computer skills and other ICT programs.
