Examining our secondary school curriculum reveals the subjects a student must take from senior one to senior two before choosing between #Arts or #Sciences in senior three. The purpose is for students to select subjects that fit future university courses and their intended careers. However, many students lack awareness of the various career options their specific subject choices might open up. Today, we address a secondary school student's question about which #subjects are relevant to qualify for a #computerscience course. #IWD2025 #accelerateaction #womenintech #womeninstem #womenhistorymonth ##SouthSudan Video Credit: Kenyi Moses

Women are significantly underrepresented in #STEM fields globally. According to Tech Cabal, only 30% of technology roles in Africa are occupied by women, with a troubling 14% in #softwareengineering and 25% in #computerscience jobs. To honor Women’s Month, we focus on the theme "Accelerate Action,” emphasizing the urgent necessity for rapid and practical steps toward achieving gender equality. Our second inquiry comes from a student in the #computerscience course who seeks advice on how to excel. First, remember that no subject is inherently difficult; success relies on dedication, just as in #computerscience. This short video provides helpful tips for succeeding in the course. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #womenintech #womeninstem P.S. We are still open to questions from you all. Video Credit: Kenyi Moses

The South Sudan Internet Governance Forum (IGF) 2024, on September 6 at the UniPod South Sudan, focused on key internet governance issues. The theme, “Building Our Multi-Stakeholder Digital Future,” highlighted collaboration among government, civil society, academia, and the private sector for digital innovation and socio-economic growth.

Celebrating Women’s Month with the theme "Accelerate Action” underscores the urgent need for swift and decisive actions to achieve gender equality. A significant obstacle preventing girls from pursuing technology-related courses, often leading to dropouts, is the Information about career choices, not course information. In response to this challenge, we will address Hannah Raphael's inquiry regarding the importance of #computerscience this week. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction #womenintech #womeninstem #STEMCareers #SouthSudan P.S. We are still expecting more questions from you all. Video Credit: Kenyi Moses

March is dedicated to women, and to honor it, we will embrace the women’s day theme, “Accelerate Action,” emphasizing the urgent need for prompt and effective measures to promote gender equality. As GoGirls ICT Initiative celebrates its 10th anniversary and as #womenintech in #SouthSudan, we invite our followers to engage with us by asking eight questions to the cofounders throughout March. The cofounders will reply to each question with brief video responses. #IWD #AccelerateAction #GirlsinICT #womeninstem #GoGirls10 #itsouranniversary

As we continue to elaborate more on the GoGirls' Vision statement, this second video explains in details how our vision plays a key role in the organisation's programming and project implementation. #GirlsInICT #Womenintech #WomeninSTEM #GoGirls10 #itsouranniversary #SouthSudan Video Credit: Kenyi Moses

Interactions with #computerscience and #InformationTechnology university students inspired us to initiate the Time to Shine ICT #TTOSICT project in 2016. This project inspired our VISION STATEMENT, clarifying our focus, uniqueness, and future aspirations in 2019 that led to crafting it. Part one of this short video offers a glimpse into our beginnings and the future we continue to envision. #GirlsInICT #Womenintech #WomeninSTEM #GoGirls10 #itsouranniversary #SouthSudan Video Credit: Kenyi Moses
