    Advancing SDGs: UN Women's impact and key achievements
    UNW made a direct contribution to the identified gender divide through the implementation of the African Girls Can Code Initiative(AGCCI) multistakeholder project. Within this framework, 102 young girls aged between 17-25 years became programmers, creators, and designers. In fact, 102 applications oriented and contributing to the acceleration of SDGs were created by the trained young girls.This result was achieved through 2 coding camps which brought together 102 girls ranked top in science and technology sections from all the 18 provinces of Burundi. In compliance with LNOB principle, the ethnic groups, girls from the indigenous groups, religious denominations were represented.For more impact and sustainability:

    4 multimedia centers, in Bubanza, Kirundo, Karusi and Ruyigi provinces, have been equipped with computers, furniture and other accessories for the young girls to continue learning and to train their peers.
    2 media Campaign were organized for advocacy, sensitization, and mobilization of stakeholders on the need of inceased number of girls in ICT. The goals for these media campaign are: (i) to raise awareness of coding among girls, their families and the general public: improve the image of coding among girls and demonstrate that coding is an exceptional professional opportunity, (ii) to mobilize partners both within and outside the project to engage with and support Burundian girls in coding: AGCCI needs to partner with many different stakeholders to ensure that its messages are relayed, both widely and over the long term, (iii) to promote the AGCCI project in Burundi, its results and impact: the idea is to highlight its results and impact, and give a voice to the girls who have already benefited from it, (iv) to promote the visibility of the Kingdom of Belgium, the donor who funded the project, so that its actions in support of the Burundi government's efforts to reduce gender gaps in digital technology are known.
    UNW Burundi is now recognized as a key partner gender mainstreaming in the ICT sectorand parents of girls are aware of AGCCI Project & UNW's achievements.
