Several members of the Code for Haiti team attended the kick-off event "Ayitic Goes Global: Empowering Women Through Digital Markets" last night and enjoyed networking with local development agencies, private sector representatives, government officials and other local stakeholders regarding exciting new projects starting in Haiti. These projects aim to promote the growth of a data-related job market, boost Internet infrastructure and connectivity, and encourage a data-oriented culture in Haiti. We are very excited for all the new collaborations and projects on the horizon as we work together to leverage technology and data for the empowerment and advancement of society in Haiti!
