DIGITAL EDUCATION 4 SDG- SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS


Description

Digital Education for Sustainable Development is a unique approach to catalyzing sustainable development through innovations in Digital and Green enterprise solutions and technologies. Here, through innovations and deployment in Digital Technologies, we train, mentor and empower locals to become social innovators, green and digital entrepreneurs to providing decent works and means of livelihood.

The project's implementation through public and private partnerships, especially among universities in Nigeria and some regions of Africa, has resulted in the empowerment of most graduates from the universities and colleges as Digital entrepreneurs, Green enterprise promoters, and social innovators.

The implementation of this project around the Niger Delta region, for instance, has resulted in mass Poverty, Hunger, Social injustices, and Climate Change effects eradication. Most gender folks—youths and women that were idle and restive have now been gainfully employed as Digital Entrepreneurs and social innovators working and earning decent means of income from home or as green entrepreneurs working in the smart gardens through our VIRTUAL-TO-PHYSICAL ORGANIC Gardening concept as a component of this project.

Through the direct application of the training by the graduates from the participating universities, who are now self employed and employers of labor through the direct application of this unique concept and innovations.
