In November 2023, Concept, an NGO based in Senegal, became the latest centre to join the DTC Initiative and community, bringing the total number of DTC countries to 14. ITU and Concept signed a cooperation agreement focusing on capacity development activities under the DTC Initiative. As part of its mandate to bridge the digital divide and empower underserved communities, Concept has been delivering basic and intermediate digital skills training in Senegal. The NGO is closely collaborating with ST Foundation (also a partner of the DTC Initiative) to implement its Digital Unify (DU) programme across the country. In addition to capacity development, Concept works to establish, equip, and connect local training centres, with the support of local stakeholders.
