The Kwiga Project’s mis­sion is to build a dig­i­tal ecosys­tem in Burun­di that can sus­tain­ably trans­form the coun­try’s future.

 

We want to:

• Restore con­fi­dence among Burun­di­an youth giv­ing them the means to mas­ter dig­i­tal tools and inno­vate.

• Strength­en the role of uni­ver­si­ties in order to train a new gen­er­a­tion of tal­ent­ed indi­vid­u­als skilled in the tech­nolo­gies of the future.

• Bring togeth­er pub­lic, pri­vate, and aca­d­e­m­ic insti­tu­tions around a com­mon vision of dig­i­tal devel­op­ment.

 

In prac­tice, we are tak­ing action to:

• • Cre­ate train­ing and exper­i­men­ta­tion spaces focused on the cloud and new tech­nolo­gies.

• • Estab­lish bridges between local and inter­na­tion­al uni­ver­si­ties through intern­ships, exchanges, and train­ing pro­grams.

• • Devel­op strong part­ner­ships with busi­ness­es and pub­lic author­i­ties in order to anchor the project in the local com­mu­ni­ty.

 

Our goal is sim­ple: to make Burun­di a land of dig­i­tal tal­ent, open to the world, capa­ble of inno­vat­ing and active­ly con­tribut­ing to the econ­o­my of tomor­row.
