About iamtheCODE
iamtheCODE is the first African-led global movement to mobilize governments, the private sector, philanthropic foundations, investors, and civil society to advance STEAMED (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship, and Design) education. Its goal is to mobilize multistakeholder to invest in future technologies that can drive sustainable development for women, girls, and youth in marginalized communities worldwide. A fundamental pillar of iamtheCODE’s work is empowering women and girls worldwide, aligning with critical elements of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
iamtheCODE is one of the fervent UN Sustainable Development Goals Advocate. The Organization has been recognized by The United Nations High-Level Economic Empowerment, the World Economic Forum, UN Women, Unilever, UNHRC, and UN GLOBAL COMPACT for bringing together multi-stakeholders, including governments all over the world, to ensure that by 2030, all girls and boys complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education leading to relevant and useful learning outcomes. By 2030, our mission is to get 1 million women and girls’ coders 2030.
Through iamtheCODE, youth from underprivileged backgrounds engage hands-on with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, build innovative solutions, and learn how to code. This exercise not only helps them develop the skills they need to succeed in STEAMED (Science, technology, Engineering, Mathematics, Art and Design) fields, but it also enables their creativity and understanding of world pressing problems such as Climate change, Peace and Justice, and Gender Equality.
