Atingi is a digital learning platform developed within the framework of the Global Project “Africa Cloud”, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The Smart Africa Secretariat, an alliance of 29 African digital ministries, is the most important strategic partner for project implementation.

In many African countries, providing access to learning content and lifelong learning opportunities remains a challenge. Large parts of the population cannot benefit from existing educational offers due to geographical remoteness and a lack of financial resources. Marginalized groups such as girls and women as well as populations living in rural areas are particularly affected by restrained access to education. As a result, they often lack the required competencies for finding employment in local labor markets.

The Africa Cloud global project aims to reach young people through innovative e-learning offers. Educational contents are developed locally and geared towards improving vocational training and employability for the jobs of the future. The Africa Cloud teams up with partners from politics, economy and civil society sectors such as the „Make-IT” Initiative, German Siemens Stiftung and the Green Innovation Centres for the Agriculture and Food Sector (GIC).

The project starts in Africa and will be extended to other world regions.
