Context

Liberia's Ministry of Education, with UN Women Liberia, launched a call for applications in mid-2026 for the Liberia Girls Can Code Initiative Pilot Coding Camp, targeting 250 girls and young women aged 15-24 from five counties, anchored by a 10-day coding bootcamp.

Results

The curriculum covers coding, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital entrepreneurship, leadership and problem-solving, with an explicit strand on responsible AI use, online safety and digital privacy; no prior programming experience is required.

Conclusions

As of the application deadline (25 August 2026), the programme had not yet run its cohort, so no participation, completion or learning-outcome data exists yet; it is included as an evidenced, honestly-labelled early-stage practice worth revisiting once the pilot concludes.
