This gathering, attended by representatives from institutions involved in the ITU Academy, was designed as a hands-on event focusing on the implementation and operations of the ATC programme.

The meeting provided a unique opportunity for collaboration among global leaders in ICT training, enabling participants to explore strategies that will shape the future of digital skills development. Following the ATCs meeting, the ITU Digital Skills Forum (held from 17th to 19th September 2024) became the centerpiece of the discussions, under the theme “Developing Skills for Digital Transformation“. This forum gathered policymakers, practitioners, and experts from across the world to address the critical issue of closing the global digital skills gap.

With a forward-looking agenda, the Digital Skills Forum delved into the challenges and solutions needed to equip nations with the tools to bridge the digital divide. It offered a platform for sharing best practices, discussing emerging trends, and formulating strategies to enhance digital literacy and ICT competencies. AFRALTI, as a regional leader in ICT training and capacity building, reinforced its commitment to empowering individuals and institutions to thrive in the digital age.
