#SCASummit26 was everything we wanted our 10-year celebration to be, and we couldn’t have done it without you all. 💗
We looked back at the last 10 years, celebrated the people who have been part of our journey, and looked ahead to the next decade.
If the first 10 years were anything to go by, the next 10 are going to be something else. 💗

AI literacy is much bigger than knowing how to prompt ChatGPT or Claude.
Literacy doesn't equal prompt engineering. You can use an AI tool every day and still not be AI-literate.
AI literacy is the ability to understand, use, evaluate, and engage responsibly with artificial intelligence.

An AI-literate person should be able to:
- Understand AI — what it can and cannot do, and how it produces outputs.
- Evaluate AI outputs — question accuracy, bias, relevance, and reliability rather than accepting an answer automatically.
- Recognise risks — including privacy, security, bias, misinformation, and ethical concerns.
- Use AI responsibly — make informed decisions about when AI should and shouldn't be used.

There's something special about finding people who just get it.
People you can ask questions without feeling judged, and remind you that you're not figuring everything out alone.
10 years ago, our founder recognised this need among African women in tech and made a decision that gave rise to She Code Africa.
But that's just one side of our story.

AI adoption is no longer the interesting question. What happens after adoption?
The State of Women in African Tech Report 2026 found that 75.2% of women surveyed use AI tools daily, while 79.1% are investing in new skills.
Yet, 57.8% are concerned about data privacy and unauthorised data use when utilizing AI.
These findings raise an important question: Are women being supported to navigate the changes AI brings to their work?
The future of AI at work is not just about who uses the tools, but who gets the support to grow with them.

IS YOUR COMPANY UNDERPAYING YOU AS A WOMAN IN TECH?
Earlier this year, we surveyed over 206 women across 14 African countries, and the findings raise some important questions about how women are compensated in tech.
Here's what we found. 🧵
But these numbers are only the beginning.
Equal pay requires more than good intentions. It requires action.
Employers have a responsibility to:
Make pay more transparent.
Review pay regularly.
Make progression fair.
Create accountability.
Fair compensation needs to be reflected in workplace policies and everyday decisions.

There's a lot more to unpack, and this is just one part of the conversation.
The State of Women in African Tech Report 2026 explores these realities and highlights the changes needed to build a more equitable tech ecosystem.
