Evidence snapshot for Mbabane
The evidence shows that Mbabane hosts She Powers Africa Digital Academy, launched in July 2026 as a pilot programme training 50 women from government institutions in AI, cybersecurity, data science, software development and IT operations through a partnership between Eswatini's government and the UAE's General Women's Union. However, the practices provide no other quantified information about Mbabane's digital infrastructure, education system, or broader development outcomes beyond this single academy initiative.
