The initiative has two key strategies, namely: coding camps and the integration of ICT, coding and gender into national curricula.

The first phase funded by the Government of Denmark was carried out between April 2018 and December 2019 and yielded good results. A second phase was launched in April 2022 by UN Women and its partners (AUC, ITU, ECA,UNESCO) with financial support from the Government of Belgium to ensure African girls benefit and contribute to the technological revolution in their countries and the continent.
