Introduction
When women rise, communities rise. Yet women are often excluded from the very opportunities that drive innovation and sustainability. HER-EDGE, one of EDGES Africa’s flagship programs, is changing that narrative by equipping women with green and digital skills for the future.
1. The Gender Gap in Tech and Sustainability
Women make up nearly half of Africa’s population but remain underrepresented in the digital and green workforce. This limits both economic growth and climate solutions.
2. Skills That Transform Lives
HER-EDGE provides hands-on training in sustainability, AI, and digital innovation, helping women to start businesses, join the workforce, and lead climate-smart initiatives.
3. Stories of Change
From rural entrepreneurs learning digital marketing to young women launching recycling businesses, HER-EDGE is proving that women are the backbone of Africa’s green revolution.
Conclusion
Empowering women is not just the right thing to do — it’s the smart thing to do for Africa’s future.
