- West Africa
- Regional Coordinator
Executive Director of Jokkolabs, a network of innovation spaces in Africa, Fatoumata is scaling the initiative across Senegal and West Africa at large. As actress and facilitator of social change, she implements programs involving entrepreneurship, digital and the promotion of female leadership as means of salvation in response to the issue of unemployment in Africa.
Her heartfelt commitment to education has resulted in the deployment of innovative programs such as jokkokids, a network of innovators and organizations that develop educational opportunities to stimulate children's creativity through arts and technology. This project resonates with the philosophy of Africa Code Week, which she now coordinates across West Africa.
