Evidence snapshot for Mbabane
The evidence shows that Mbabane hosts the She Powers Africa Digital Academy, launched in July 2026 by Eswatini's government and the UAE's General Women's Union, which trained an initial cohort of 50 women from government institutions in AI, cybersecurity, data science, software development and IT operations. However, because the academy only launched in mid-2026, no completion, skills-assessment or job-placement data exists yet, so the practice is evidenced by institutional backing and stated targets rather than measured learning outcomes.
