Information Technology and Communications (ICT) is a new and growing sector in Senegal, and only a few jobs are available in the market. However, it is becoming urgent to train students with the skills needed to strengthen and grow the industry.  This need is amplified since the training provided at local traditional educational institutions is not always aligned to current and future technology. For this reason, in 2016, EDACY developed a training programme, answering the need to provide African youth with ICT-skills.

The unemployment rate in Nigeria is increasing and is particularly affecting the youth. The challenge lies in the way trainings are delivered, which is  too academic, top-down and not practical enough, this highly affects the employability of graduates as having the right set of skills better equips them to find jobs than purely academical knowledge.

WAVE describes the high youth unemployment rate in West Africa and the insufficient preparation of youth (16 – 30 years old) in schools and universities to participate and compete in the job market as the core motivation for starting the organization.
