Deadline: 10 June 2014
The World Bank and Microsoft have
launched a regional grant competition ‘Coding Your Way to Opportunity’
for four South Asian Countries – Bangladesh, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Youth-led
initiatives and organizations are invited to submit proposal on their
innovative ideas and initiatives that bridge the existing gap between
those who have access to skills (that they need to become successful)
and those who do not have the access.
The competition is aimed at enabling
youth to expand coding knowledge amongst their peers which in turn helps
them secure gainful employment. The grantee will implement youth
focused training on coding to address the coding gap in the region.
At least US$10,000 will be offered to each of the four countries to carry out an innovative project for a period of one year.
