About this Initiative

5 Million Ethiopian Coders is a joint initiative between the Government of Ethiopia and the Government of the United Arab Emirates. This program is an offshoot of the historic One Million Arab Coders program, which was announced in 2017 by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum at the World Economic Forum. Ethiopian learners will have the opportunity to gain foundational level skills across three domains: Programming Fundamentals, Data Science Fundamentals and Android Kotlin Developer Fundamentals. Learners will be supported by mentors who will support them on a dedicated Community Platform to unblock technical questions on a daily basis throughout the 6-7 week course. Upon successful course completion, learners will be awarded with skill-based certifications.
