Lou said the zone has arranged 20 workshops for more than 500 officials from Somaliland’s 15 government ministries, including those catering to women, law enforcement officers, and the disabled. The zone will continue to serve as a hub of ICT training for government officials, he said.

The representative said he firmly believes that Taiwan and Somaliland’s ICT cooperation is bearing more fruit.

The Somaliland Innovation Zone is expected to benefit at least 200 learners each year, according to a Taipei Office in Nigeria press release.

Training sessions will initially teach basic office computer skills and later teach programming, digital marketing, and cybersecurity, the office said.
