The Government of Benin received 628 pieces of computer equipment from UNICEF on September 11, 2026, to support digital learning in the country’s education system.
The donation will go to 43 junior high schools across nine departments, as well as eight departmental education offices. The equipment includes desktop and laptop computers, central processing units, monitors, projectors, printers, storage devices, and other peripherals. Benin intends to use these tools to narrow the digital gap, improve research opportunities, and update teaching methods.
Alongside the equipment, UNICEF is helping to establish 12 new digital classrooms in the schools. These additions will bring the total number of digital classrooms supported by UNICEF in Benin to 67. The government also plans to use the equipment to improve the management, monitoring, and guidance of the education system. Ousmane Niang, the UNICEF representative in Benin, emphasized the importance of equitable access to quality education.
