2. Problem Definition
Problem Overview
A critical mass of highly
skilled workforce to support
opportunities that are
emerging in ICT is really
required
The digital literacy penetration rate
in Rwanda is still a very concerning
issue, as it stood at only 30% of
total population in January 2023
Sufficient and inclusive R&D
infrastructure and resources
should be established in
specific niche areas
Major Causes
Existing capacity building programs are not tailored to include
absolute young beginners in Rwanda. In most cases, the cost
and system complexities are set higher
Ignorance of most people when it comes to
acceptance of ICT and internet as their new
way of living
Direct Effects
Unequal access to currently available
opportunities, and endless hurdles in
national digital transformation journey
Among youth aged 16 to 30
years old, there is a
significant 25.6%
unemployment rate
Shortage of reliable IT
enthusiasts and high rate of
illegal activities plus increased
mental disorders
