In its efforts to enhance digital skills and empower girls in Sudan, TPRA has organized a series of specialized training courses aimed at developing the capabilities of girls in ICT fields.

The programs targeted school and university students, as well as women in rural and remote areas, reflecting TPRA’s commitment to providing equal opportunities for all.
This initiative supports TPRA’s vision of building an inclusive digital society, as these programs have strengthened participants’ capabilities and enabled them to enter the digital job market and contribute effectively to the growing digital economy.
TPRA emphasized that these initiatives are a vital step toward empowering women and achieving digital equality. It continues its efforts to launch more programs and projects that aim to enhance the role of girls and women in the telecommunications and technology sectors, in line with ITU guidelines and strategic objectives.
