Kigali is the biggest city of Rwanda, but also its capital. Subject to sustained economic growth (GDP increase of around 6.5% per year over the last decade), the city also aspires to become one of Africa’s main technology hubs and has introduced in recent years a digital infrastructure and a range of services aimed at positioning itself as one of the most computerized local authorities on the continent.

However, the level of digital skills among 14-35 years old, who represent 53% of the population of Kigali, is very disparate. To be able to spread opportunities, improve employability and encourage the adoption of digital services, Kigali must bridge this digital divide. This is the ambition of the City, through its participation in the ASToN network.
