Nigerian girls learn climate entrepreneurship through a World Bank hackathon

Nigeria's AGILE project, supported by the World Bank, ran a hackathon for adolescent girls to develop climate change solutions. Students created graphic novels and videos, strengthening their digital and entrepreneurial skills.

This project shows how development aid is shifting to integrate climate change and digital skills into education, especially for girls. It aims to equip a generation with tools to address local environmental challenges and potentially create new businesses. This approach could become a model for other developing nations looking to combine education, climate action, and economic empowerment.
