World Bank, Microsoft program on coding

The World Bank and Microsoft launched a call for proposals for a South Asia regional grant competition titled ‘Coding Your Way to Opportunity’ in Bangladesh, the Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka, last month.

The regional grant competition invites youth-led initiatives and organisations to showcase fresh, innovative ideas that bridge the prevailing coding gap in South Asia between those who have access to gaining skills they need to be successful and those who do not. Learning to code can propel job creation and development and boost shared prosperity.
