MTN and Huawei Sign MoU on improving digital inclusion and sustainable development in Africa

“Working with companies like Huawei, we can pool our technologies and expertise to drive greater access to connectivity, digital skills and greener and more sustainable solutions to the benefit of all.”

“We believe that digital technology will become an important force driving social development and making the world more inclusive and sustainable.” said Guo Ping, Chairman of the Huawei Supervisory Board.

In the area of digital skills training, the Huawei DigiTruck project provides free training in digital skills for those in need, including those in rural communities, the elderly, the unemployed, and girls and women.

Another project in the digital skills training area is Huawei ICT Academy.

It trains university students in ICT skills such as 5G, cloud computing, and AI.

MTN’s Skills Academy seeks to enhance the link between digital skills training and job market requirements to benefit producers, consumers, and innovators of digital technologies.

The partnership seeks to accelerate efforts to reach even more rural and remote communities and to broaden the portfolio of available digital skills training.
