Vision of DMAP

We want to empower communities through mentorship, networking, and support for initiatives and tools that expand digital skills and coding in the Asia Pacific region. DMAP also aims to serve as a bridge between communities and policymakers to promote a local-based focus on digitalization, expand the benefits of digital tools and skills, and drive inclusive growth.

Providing Mentorship

Our team aims to provide online and in-person mentorship programs in APEC economies in their local languages. To help our next generation grow stronger with the help of their mentors from their own economy

Expanding Network

Aiming to help communities meet like-minded people locally (in their own region) as well internationally (in the other APEC economies). Also connecting them with policymakers to make their voice being heard and being able to make a difference

Empowering Communities

Let's Code Asia

A platform for empowering kids with coding skills in their local language. Our goal is to empower kids and mentoring them to prepare them for their brighter future. At the moment most of the kids’ coding resources are in English, and there is no strong presence of mentors in less-privileged economies. That’s why we decided to change that, translating coding resources for kids in their own language, and mentoring them locally.
