  Leaving No One Behind in a Digital World Africa has the lowest implementation of appropriate capacity development aspects with only 25% of citizens having access to basic ICT skills.”   Africa's Mobile Gender Gap: Millions of African women still offline. Ma'am good afternoon! Good afternoon! What's your name? My name is Luisa! How old are you? I am 36 years old. Why are you using this old model phone? I'm using this phone, because life is very difficult, I can't buy a digital phone that I would like to have, due to lack of financial resources I only managed to get an old phone like this one. Have you ever used a digital phone? I've never used it. Why? I don't have the economic empowerment that would allow me to buy a digital phone. Don't you have someone who can offer you a smartphone? I don't have. I ask for help to acquire a digital phone. Would you like to use one? Yes, I would love to use it. Do you have a computer? I don't and have never o...

Fraudulent competition - Angola Education Awards  Results of the fraudulent competition  Greetings friends.  Thank you for voting. Engineer Sofonie Dala, based on the results, won the competition with the majority of votes, but she was being a victim of fraud, this started from the beginning of the competition. Apparently, the organizers of this event lack knowledge and high skills to evaluate candidates in different areas of knowledge. The end of this competition was very ugly, painted with theft, dishonesty, corruption, nepotism, lack of transparency, misinformation, slander and favoritism. We first received a message that we were approved. The following days we received a false and fraudulent message saying that they thought again and decided to give our place to their favorites ones who were unable to win the competition. From the beginning of the competition, the organizers tried in any way to obscure the strong candidates, putting only a simple description of their ...

  How is climate change affecting Angola and what are you doing to flip the script?  Sofonie Dala's Thoughts Climate change is becoming a very serious matter for the whole world. Unfortunately, many people still don't know about this, they don't know what climate change is and what causes it. Worst of all, these people who lack this knowledge are the same people who cause environmental pollution and climate change, simply because they are unaware of the consequences of their actions. Then the problem becomes even more complicated. For example, here in my community, we continue to produce tons of garbage daily, there are a lot of plastics in every corner, people are not even aware of the damage that plastics cause to the environment. People continue to cut the trees in their backyards and around their homes, burn the trees, without any knowledge that the trees would provide them with oxygen and protect them from global warming. Gardeners and men are hired to cut down trees a...
