« Useful holidays today, skills for life. »
For its first edition, from 16 July to 15 September 2026, the Digital & AI holiday camp organised by A-Z Sarl brought together 20 children and teenagers aged 9 to 16 in Bamako. Over 16 hands-on sessions, they learned to create, innovate and stay safe in the digital world, up to building a team digital project.
The closing ceremony was marked by many expressions of satisfaction: participants and their parents alike praised the quality of the initiative and hoped to see it continue.
Programme
Study, evaluation & workshop · Energy
The two components of the assignment
For SSD Yeelen Kura-FRES Mali, a solar rural electrification operator, the A-Z team led by Mr Mohamed Lamine Kaba carried out the analysis and evaluation in Koumantou and Béléko. Four trained enumerators conducted semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders and focus groups with mini-grid and solar home system customers.
A-Z Sarl then organised the national workshop, held on 8 July 2021 in Bamako both in person and online, with simultaneous French-English interpretation for FRES partners. Chaired by the Minister of Mines, Energy and Water, with representatives of the European Union and the Embassy of the Netherlands in attendance, it presented the findings of the analysis. The consultant’s team wrote the workshop report.
